College M ichelle Branch to h e L u m b e r j a c k The Independent Student Publication of Northern Arizona University ^ ^ www.lumberjackonline.com April 1 4 -2 0 , 2 0 0 4 Restructure plan calls for 6 colleges PRESIDENT JOHN D. Haeger announces his plan for restructuring the university in Ardrey Auditorium Monday afternoon. W ILL FLETCHER T he Lu m b e r ja c k After months of anticipation and debate, President John D. Haeger announced his plan for restructuring Monday, cutting the university’scollegesandschools from 10 to six. In addition, the university's approximately 40 centers and institutes will be placed under the administration of the college that best matches its academic and research needs. Haeger’s plan caLLs for combining Science and Engineering, Humanities and Fine Arts, Socid and Behavioral Sciences and Communication, leaves the Colleges of Business Administration and Education alone and creates one professional school. The professional school merges Forestry, Health Professions and Hotel and Restaurant Management. But details on implementation and what the university will look like a year from now is far from certain. Certainty rests in the fact that Haeger will recommend to the Arizona Board of Regents April 2g that NAU irreversibly con solidate its colleges and schools. ABOR is expected to vote on the plan June 24-2 5. A steering committee w ill also be formed to decide how best to merge the colleges. Haeger said while some aspects of merging academic departments can be worked on immediately, many of the details would unfold as restructuring happens, which Haeger said could take up to four or five years. Before hundreds of curious students, fac ulty and staff in Ardrey Auditorium Monday, Haeger said he thinks the plan is necessary to achieve academic excellence and financial stability. If approved, Haeger said he expects changes to begin as early as July 3. The idea to overhaul the university’s academic structure was first conceived November 2003 after a 1,032 student enrollment decline and unfunded state mandates resulted in a $4 million budget shortfall. See HAEGERr page 2 Students’ pocketbooks going to gas LUCAS HOLUB T he Lu m b e r ja c k As gas prices rise nationally, so has the premium American voters are placing on Democratic national candidate John Kerry and incumbent President George W. Bush. But insofar as finger pointing has produced no answers to what the U.S. Department of Energy reports are the highest gas prices in 20 years, NAU students continue to foot the bill. Adrian ne Ward, senior public relations and advertising major, commutes 600 miles per week from P h o e n ix to Flagstaff and back, just to get to class. “My financial aid went straight to paying gas prices,” Ward"said. Ward said her major is only offered at NAD, and after considering a lucrative job in Phoenix and the higher cost of living in Flagstaff, Ward chose the 150 mile one-way commute. While Ward’s Nissan Sentra is more fuel efficient than the increasingly popular gas guzzlers, she still doles out about $3,20 a month for gasoline and $25 for an oil change during the same period. *lf it gets to be $2 a gallon, no one's going to see me up here again,” Ward saidW ard’s commuting headache will end in May when she graduates, but NAU political science professor Stephen Wright, said the elevated cost of gasoline may be around for quite some time. Wright said speculation in the U.S. future markets, where pricing is linked to confidence, has a major influence on the cost of oil. Fear of a terrorist attack on an American oil refinery, refinery capacity itself and a steadily increasing rise in demand have all contributed to a lack of investor confidence in the U.S. market, Wright said.
