Program prioritization tasks forces formed

By Northern Star staff

A shared governance group of faculty, staff and a student has chosen the members of the academic and administrative task forces, but the names of the task force participants will not be available until mid-June.

The task forces, comprised of 20 members each, will determine mergers, cuts and increases in funding for academic and administrative programs.

Each participant must sign a document explaining the terms of his or her service before the names of task force members can be released, according to the program prioritization website. All forms are likely to be signed around mid-June, according to NIU.

Program inventories

A list of the 265 academic programs to be peer reviewed was not yet available on the program prioritization website Sunday. The anticipated completion date for the administrative program inventory is late June, according to NIU.
