When you consider splitting up in parts, the question becomes how do we bring things together.. Where a person may have publications and awards and awards are in a separate area, how do you find the person in either environment? It is one thing to consider splitting up because they may help with "operational"  issues, the key thing is how will interaction be. Without a practical way to mix and match it will lead to towers of knowledge that are effectively hardly interacting.
