Vacate is what I have. It's going to be harsh no matter what, but not as bad as when he orders me to kick out the tenured faculty. That will be a shit storm.
Just call me the computer whisperer.

Because books.
Are those offices actually being repurposed, or does he just want them out, too? What a thankless job you have to do.
It seems absurd to let office space go unused.

He just wants all of these people out of these offices. As far as I know, they will all sit empty. You have no idea how much I'd just love to write: The Dean says I have to tell you . . .
Unfortunately, this is not the worst of it. Good times.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
When they come with questions, which they will, what have you been told to tell them? Or can you just direct them to the Dean's office?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
And he gets no other office?
ETA- Will the tenured faculty get new offices?

Oh, that's what I would be doing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, Sparky, at least out loud can you say, "The Dean told me to tell you...." I realize it might not be good in email.
I still remember him as Beth's rapey Step-father from Guiding Light.
Holy crap -- for like 10 years after I stopped watching GL, I could ONLY think of him as Bradley Raines, but some time in the past 10 years since then, I totally stopped! Bananas.

Sounds like a time for passive voice?
We have been directed that the rooms on Floor B can no longer be used for personal office space.
By who? We won't say. Why? Who knows? It's just a fact.

Bradley Raines
Holy god, how do you people remember this stuff? I barely remembered Beth until Sophia mentioned her.
I do remember a later character named Harley, though, and I keep wanting to call her Harley Quinn.

It just came back to me! I would have had a harder time remembering Beth's name. It's because the actor was in so much other stuff, so I was always watching Law & Order (say) and thinking "Rapist Bradley Raines"!
