Vision 2020: Academic Reorganization Planning

The Plan for Academic Reorganization arises from the commitment of academic affairs at The University of Â鶹´«Ã½ to enhance the distinctiveness of academic programs and to create a sustainable model for academic programming. The Provost, Deans, chairs/directors and faculty advisory bodies at Â鶹´«Ã½ play an integral role in shaping our reorganization initiative and the concomitant success of academic programs.
