I notice you didn't suggest Taxonomy as a solution for Departments,
is that something we can look forward to seeing depricated soon?
Are there trends of this kind showing up in Drupal discussions? You
know, things on the way in, things on the way out? Perhaps you can
give us a list of each?<br>

<div>Scaling? How many people are going to use this? It doesn't
sound like many; budgets are not generally open to the world,
unless it's a government site. So, I supect the first design
point is to determine your target audience and how many they
might be.</div>

<div>Secondly, it's not content types that are the issue; it's
nodereferences that are. It might be that you find that some
of that is not needed. For example, departmental structure is
generally not very fluid, so hand-coding the department names
as a list in the content type might reduce the level of
performance issues considerably.<br>
