Central Michigan University has named members who will serve on three committees that will work on the university's Academic Organizational Review.

The committees, which will oversee the progress of the academic and administrative reorganization initiative were announced Oct. 11 on CMU News.

The reorganization initiative was added to the updated academic strategic plan, "Advancing Excellence," in August. The initiative will review and restructure CMU's administrative and academic structure. The review portion is intended to be complete by January. 

According to the Academic Organization Review's website, the three committees are tasked with the following:

Committee I, the academic structure committee, will review the organization of departments and academic colleges. 

Committee II, the academic support committee, will oversee the academic division beyond colleges and look at units and teams which directly affect students' experience of education.

Committee III, the responsibility centered management committee will look at the responsibility management budget model used in academic colleges.
