ORGANIZING THE FACULTY WITHIN A COLLEGE 85 numbers, curriculum, admission requirements, and certification of degrees. There were changes in the way the department—its programs and courses—had to go through the CAS and other bureaucratic processes. Several meetings with the stakeholders helped to determine what processes had to be carried out to conform to practices in CAS. The dean relates: One of the other things is that here in the CAS, we have a liberal arts core that all of our students follow, which was different from the core of the School of Professional Studies. The first year was a bit tricky, especially advising their students because their faculty had to be inte- grated into our process, especially in understanding the core. Once the change occurred, the chair said the department was much happier in CAS and they felt they had better resources and were aligned with the culture of CAS. They feel the liberal arts background their students are getting in A&S is bet- ter than was the case in their former school. “It was a happy marriage into A&S,” believes the dean. 4. Moving a department from A&S into another existing college/school For historical reasons, an A&S college may include a program better fitted to the mission and scholarly research framework of a professional school. Unless faculty members in a program are discontent, moving the program into another college or school requires a deft approach by the dean. The deans involved in the follow- ing cases did so successfully. a) At a large southern public university, the College of Science and Mathematics in- cluded a program in Print Management. It was the dean’s perception it simply did not fit with the rest of the College because of its focus on service to the printing industry. As things evolved, it looked to be a good fit with the Graphic Design pro- gram (housed in the College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences), which also was more focused on professional service. The two deans started a conversation about making the change. Then they organized a social event to bring faculty members together over the idea. Through continued discussion among the faculty, their chairs, and the deans (and keeping the provost in the loop), the faculty agreed they might be better able to create interdisciplinary teaching and research opportunities for themselves and their students if they were co-located and administered. Print Management, along with its faculty and space, moved to the Department of Graphic Design. This new location has proven to be a better fit. b) A dean at a large private university was in conversation with the head of her Bi- ology department about whether its Nutrition program was a good fit with the goals of the department. The Biology Department was research-focused, win- ning grants from the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF), and it aimed to propel its students into graduate and medical
