Collegiate Re-Structuring Committee Working on Recommendations
The Collegiate Re-structuring Steering Committee and its four subcommittees are working toward deadlines in June and September to provide Provost Tony Perzigian with a series of recommendations. The effort responds to priorities set out in the University System of Ohio Strategic Plan for Higher Education 2008-2017. It will move UC to a “one university” vision that will be achieved through joint faculty-administration planning that is broad-based and transparent.
As Tony Perzigian, senior vice president for academic affairs and provost, wrote on Jan. 21, 2009, in his charge to the committee: “One crucial goal of re-structuring is to achieve greater inter-dependence among the campuses and greater integration and collaboration among colleges. A well-managed collegiate re-structuring, in tandem with new financial models created by performance-based budgeting, will result in UC more effectively and efficiently serving more students, offering more baccalaureate degrees on its regional campuses, and, consistent with USO metrics/goals, graduating more students, especially in STEM fields.”
To achieve this, four subcommittees have been created:
- College of Applied Science/College of Engineering (CAS/COE)
- Uptown/Regional Campuses
- College of Allied Health Sciences/School of Social Work (CAHS/SW)
- The Center for Access and Transition (CAT)
