Pros

Its a huge multifaceted organization working on lots of interesting topics. Lots of resources and it is generally encouraged to engage other groups across the University.

Cons

The reason that it is encouraged is likely because, as much as people may try to resolve it, the individual institutions are ultimately very isolated from one another.
