Task force: Cut one VP, dean, associate dean - Bill Robinson, Richmond Register

Eastern Kentucky University’s Strategic Budget Reallocation Task Force will recommend merging the offices of Administrative Affairs with Financial Affairs, eliminating the administrative vice president’s position. The Continuing Education and Outreach program also would be “decentralized,” eliminating the dean and associate dean’s positions. Those were among the most significant items included in a draft summary of the task force’s recommendations released Friday at the request of incoming EKU President Michael Benson. In a statement to the campus community, Benson said he hoped the information would help quell some of the “apprehension and uncertainty” surrounding the effort to reduce the university budget by 10 percent. http://richmondregister.com/localnews/x319985093/Task-force-Cut-one-VP-dean-associate-dean
