The Provost announced a plan to restructure the University’s schools and colleges, titled “seeds of innovation,” via an email to students on April 23 in a bid to reduce administration costs.
The controversial restructure is one of the first implementation steps for the “Harvest Our Treasures” strategic plan, and would affect seven colleges at the University.
The plan will merge the College of Nursing and the College of Medical Science into a new “College of Nursing and Health Sciences.”
It also hopes to merge the College of Communications and the Arts with the College of Education and Human Services into what is tentatively named the “College of Education, Communication Arts and Human Services.”
