The plan, announced by Keith Leasure, seeks to involve deans in planning, with decisions on whether one or two leaders will head graduate studies and research. Long-term aims include greater information flow, broader participation, and more uniform departmental programs to benefit students and faculty.

Hill House narrowly avoids closure with late state funds
Hill House Rehabilitation Center in Carbonale narrowly survives financial strain after receiving a $4,400 IDAP check and awaiting a $2,300 payment. Director Ted Osborn, paid $11,500 yearly, warned he would resign without salary as the center awaits an emergency grant of $2,000 to $4,500 from the Jackson County Mental Health Board. The center had hoped for revenue-sharing funds but was turned down, aiming to reach break-even under IDAP per-resident funding by October.
