Will anything happen to departments that did not submit proposals?
Answer:
The Transformation Process includes several stages. The first is focused on the structural reorganizations that are being proposed in the White Papers and then in the selected Final Proposals. After the proposals have been reviewed, debated, and agreed to, the process will turn to considering implementation. The proposed reforms should help units address budget cuts, and the process of consolidating units will lead into the next stage of the Transformation Process, in which hiring and funding decisions will be made. By submitting proposals, units are strengthening their positions in the later stages of the process, but units will not be penalized for not submitting proposals.
