I'll chime in!
I took a brief look at it yesterday, and my thought was, just like the old
site, it doesn't make it easy to find individual departments. For instance,
I had a devil of a time finding the Controller's site to get Travel
Authorization documents this week. I need these once in a blue moon, but it
would be nice to have an easy way to at least drill down to get to where I
needed to be. It seems like the site is more oriented toward outsiders and
academic interests right now.
