Charge
The current critical challenges related to budget and enrollment provide the University of Missouri with the opportunity to make strategic decisions that will define MU’s overall future direction in the coming years. As part of this process, the Task Force on Academic Program Analysis, Enhancement, and Opportunities was formed in June 2017. This group will be co-chaired by Dr. Cooper Drury and Dr. Matthew Martens.
The task force is charged with conducting a top-to-bottom analysis of all of MU academic programs, and eventually making recommendations regarding areas of future investment, potential consolidations, and in some cases, program discontinuance. Task force members will first prepare an initial report that focuses on synthesizing relevant data, identifying principles, guidelines, and metrics that will inform additional discussions regarding our academic programs, and determining strategies to facilitate engagement with faculty, staff, and students across campus. The task force will then engage extensively with the campus community in gathering input, feedback, recommendations, and responses to the initial report.
