Three public forums are planned in October to present information and take questions on WSU academic realignment proposals. The forums will be conducted by Fran McSweeney, vice provost for Faculty Affairs, and Chuck Pezeshki, vice chair of the Faculty Senate. They co-chair the Committee on Academic Structure.
The realignment proposals are part of an overall effort, begun in fall 2004, to make WSU’s academic structure more responsive to its current operations.
Forums will be in FSHN T-101. Those in Pullman who participate in the studio audience are asked to be seated 15 minutes before the forums begin.
The forums will be accessible via videostream on the days of broadcast at caheinfo.wsu.edu/video/stream.html. Viewers will be able to submit questions or comments.
Planned forums include:
• Health sciences, 10-11 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 12.
• College of Liberal Arts, 4-5 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 12.
• Environmental sciences, 4-5 p.m. Monday, Oct. 17.
