Kathryn Morris, provost and vice president for academic affairs, discussed Butler University’s academic mission at yesterday’s Faculty Senate meeting.
Morris and Bruce Arick, vice president of finance and administration, have been developing a plan that will provide a total review of the university and its financial state.
The report, titled “Cost of Education Model,” will be conducted by Michael Leardi, who will work independently.
“It takes the academic mission and places it at the financial centerpiece for the model,” Morris said. “The six colleges will be the focus, then everything else in the university will be the overhead.”
Morris said the review process should begin in February and will be finished in a time estimate ranging from six months to two years.
