Jacobs recommends reorganization proposal to Board If BOT passes plan, university to add schools, more colleges By Randiah Green News Editor
UT President Lloyd Jacobs recommended to the Board of Trustees on Friday that the College of Arts and Sciences be split into three separate colleges, which will be home to several schools. Under the recommendation, the CAS will be divided into the College of Mathematics and Science, the College of Visual and Performing Arts and the College of Language, Literature and Social Science. The recommendation for restructuring the university also involves grouping the Judith Herb College of Education and Health Science and Human Services into one uniform college.
Jacobs’ plan
Other colleges that will be created under Jacobs’ plan include the College of Medicine and Life Sciences, the College of Adult and Life Long Learning, College of Graduate Studies, Libraries, and Learning Systems, College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences and College of Business and Innovation. Most of those colleges come from pre-existing colleges that will have an additional department under them. The BOT still has to approve Jacobs’ recommendation on their Oct. 11 meeting. If the board gives their
approval, 11 schools will be created along with nine colleges at the university. The structure for Jacobs’ recommended plan includes having colleges which sponsor schools that will break down to certain departments. The schools will be “cross disciplinary units,” and depending on their disciplines, they can be run by either a single college or a group of colleges. The schools, which are to be led by directors, will also borrow faculty from the sponsoring colleges. One example of the proposed structure for colleges and schools is the School of First Year Experience which will be primarily sponsored by the College of Language, Literature and Social Science, but will also be sponsored by and borrow faculty from the College of Business and Innovation; Engineering: Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences; Nursing; and the College of Mathematics and Science. Jacobs’ plan also calls for the creation of a School of Patient Centered Primary Care and Wellness, School of Inter-professional Education and Advanced Simulation. Jacobs said he is convinced this model will help make UT among the highest ranked universities in the world, and restructuring UT is a “small but — Recommends, Page A8

adopted by the Women of the Old West End, which was founded in 1969, and is now the host for the annual gathering. “It’s back for all the kids in the neighborhood, free books, free everything for the kids,” Moore said. Money raised in order to fund the event comes from programs such as “Tours de Noel,” which is held every first Sunday in December. According to Moore, “Tours de Noel” allows people to tour five different homes as well as different fundraisers, such as the cookie walk, which sold 5,000 cookies at last year’s program. Park Lane Apartments on 23rd Street in the Old West End host lunch and dinner for participants. “The money raised from [Tours De Noel] goes to this day and other projects in the neighborhood with our mission,” she said.

Children bounced around on a giant inflatable alligator obstacle course yesterday afternoon, bringing young life to the almost 200-year-old neighborhood on the outskirts of downtown Toledo. Once home to dozens of Toledo’s most affluent families, including that of glass industry mogul Edward Drummond Libbey, the late Victorian-style homes of the Old West End are finding a newer, younger generation of families to add to its legacy. Children’s Day, an event that has been going on for about 40 years, is one sign of a growing, young community in the neighborhood. According to President of the Women of the Old West End Toni Moore, there’s been a significant rise in the rate of young couples as well as parents with younger children moving into the Old West End over the past few years. “I think there’s a draw for
the historic side of it; the rent is comparable to any place else in the city,” Moore said. “I think there are people who love living in the city itself, so this place offers this venue: to live in a beautiful house or apartment.” Moore said events like Children’s Day are an opportunity for these newer families to interact and help parents become involved in help keeping the spirit of community in the area. “It’s just a nice day, it’s a nice pleasant day to get neighbors involved and young parents to meet one another and for us also to engage them in helping us to continue this day for the kids in the neighborhood,” Moore said. The free program was initially set up by the Women of Old West End, ran for about seven years before being taken over by the Red Cross. Once the Red Cross left, there was no place to host the event and a few years ago, the Old West End Commons was
