Are we continuing with the OIT de-merger?

Hello,

Now that we are in a more constrained budget and have started consolidating areas like HR, does it make sense to continue to pursue decentralizing OIT?  Are we still planning for that?  It seems like we would want to do the opposite (eg; combine UAA and UAS into OIT) if, ultimately, we need to go to a single accredited institution.  I've not seen anything on the status of that project (or on the UAF CIO position decision) in quite some time & it would be pretty bad for morale if we went thru all the pain of de-merging only to have to remerge again in a few years.  Thanks!
