College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences were informed by the President and Provost that the two colleges will be merged. The Heads of the two colleges have been called to a meeting with the President and Provost on Monday.
As soon as we have updates about this, we will post more information.
At this point we can say the following:
It is critical that we question this apparently administratively imposed decision. It is also telling that this was not publicly announced by the president's office ahead of time. (We found out through our usual sources.) It is imperative that we demand answers about how much money this will actually save. Maybe you eliminate one dean's salary, but what about the other employees of the two colleges? With the same number of students to deal with and the same number of TAs to employ, how can we make sure things still run smoothly?
Will this forced merger help or harm our university?
