USM President will ask for approval of reorganization plan
The plan, named “Vision 2020,” would decrease the number of colleges on campus from six to four. According to the email, Bennett expects approval of the plan early in the fall semester. According to the plan, reducing the number of colleges will “reduce administrative costs and promote additional efficiencies, as we (USM) move from a department-based structure to one rooted in broader schools.”
Under the plan the four colleges would be College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business, College of Education and Human Sciences, and College of Nursing and Health Professions. This plan would combine the College of Arts and Letters and College of Science and Tech and eliminate the College of Health.
