Academic Unit Reorganization Referendum
President Corrigan and Provost Rosser concur with the recommendation of the University Planning Advisory Council (UPAC) on the merits of reorganizing the University's college structure and favor restructuring the University from its current eight-college structure. Based in part on the recommendation of the University Planning Advisory Council, the feedback it garnered, and consultation with many members of the campus community, they seek the advice of the University community on three alternative proposals. Alternative One is UPAC's final recommendation. Alternatives Two and Three are “6+1” structures with different departmental configurations.
Members of the University community are asked to review the proposal, and if desired, submit a comment below. Those eligible to vote in the faculty referendum will receive a link to the referendum ballot via e-mail from the Academic Senate.
Alternative One: University Planning Advisory Council Recommendation
