Israel: Strange and delightful how these "star" names keep cropping up in other totally unrelated places, all subject to the genius of their innovative minds! Thanks for the resources. Be well.

Here at SFSU this setup was created back in the glory days when August Coppola (who just died in November after a long retirement) was Dean for an extended period.

So I am not surprised that he came up with a rather unusual and imaginative administrative setup also...
