Kansas University to unveil program review recommendations
KU officials will release next week the recommendations from the Program Review, a campus wide assessment started in April. The EU Chancellor Gene Budig will receive the final report by November 20, with the board of regents to consider consolidation or elimination of programs across academic and non academic units. Nancy Dahl cautioned that while the report will guide Regents, changes to departments are not set in stone, and non academic recommendations may become permanent.
