For what it's worth, I love the design for the most part, but there are a couple of problems that are bad enough people might reject the whole thing as "too minimal."
The content frame in the middle has a scrollbar but no border, which is off-putting since it's not standard. It's also not the full height of the browser, which is useless; don't make me scroll more than I have to. For large pages, that the gray box is a scrollbar is not obvious.
There is no indication that clicking faculty opens a new page. I thought something went wrong the first time I clicked it.
The "association.SOMETHING" message at the top is a nice touch, but since it's right justified it moves when you click a new page. The word "association" should not move -- it's distracting.
The text in the paragraphs is too small for no reason, especially on your "home" page.
I really like how the current page's link is indented and how the links move to the right when you mouse over them. That's a nice touch and intuitive. I love the lack of color. The page is otherwise very easy to read and navigate.
