The University administration is considering re-tooling academic college structures to foster collaboration and improve efficiency, LSU Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Astrid Merget said a broadcast e-mail sent Friday afternoon.
Merget said these possible changes have been in the works for a while and are not a reaction to possible budget cuts.
“There will some changes in the configurations and names of our colleges and schools and in the reporting lines of several academic units on campus,” Merget said. “These changes are the result of extensive study and evaluation by the administration and several top faculty members at LSU.”
Merget wasn’t specific about what colleges may be changed, but said a proposal has gone before the University Planning Council.
