""" given Workday Student JSON data, update EQUELLA groups to reflect who is
teaching in what programs. Right now the script only writes out a series of .txt
files named after LDAP groups; these are lists of users to be sent to the Help
Desk so they can update all the LDAP groups. I want to add functionality such
that it also updates the VAULT faculty groups for each department.
