New Horizons
- New Horizons is a report from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
Budget Advisory Group (BAG). The report addresses some of the budgetary
challenges the college has faced over the past few years
and offers suggestions to meet these challenges. A year-long study was
put together by BAG, which consisted of academic department chairs,
faculty representatives from the college's Representative
Assembly and members of the dean's staff.
