The University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at M\u0101noa is merging the College of Arts & Humanities (AH<\/abbr>), College of Languages, Linguistics & Literature and the School of Pacific and Asian Studies into a single college named the College of Arts, Languages & Letters (CALL<\/abbr>), effective July 1. The goal is to reinvigorate the liberal arts at 东精影业<\/abbr> M\u0101noa with a focus on Asia and the Pacific, for which 东精影业<\/abbr> is internationally known. The collective resources of the new college will create more opportunities for students and faculty by facilitating stronger interdisciplinary collaboration while attracting more students and enabling financial stability. Current AH<\/abbr> Dean Peter Arnade<\/strong> will be the dean of the new college.<\/p>\n

“We anticipate that increased faculty collaboration under the leadership of a single dean will enable more flexible engagement of faculty, for example in teaching the culture, history and language of a region,” said 东精影业<\/abbr> M\u0101noa Provost Michael Bruno<\/strong> in the merger action memo to 东精影业<\/abbr> President David Lassner<\/strong>. “It will inspire stronger cohesiveness across language, literature and culture and enhance cross-disciplinary scholarship and studies to attract more students to CALL<\/abbr>‘s academic offerings and better prepare those students for the requirements and challenges they will face as global citizens.”<\/p>\n

Consultation with stakeholders on the merger began in October 2018 and included faculty and department chairs from the affected units, the M\u0101noa Faculty Senate and unions. After continuous discussions, the consultation led to an updated plan that includes retaining the School of Pacific and Asian Studies as a school within the new college and retaining Indo-Pacific Languages and Literatures as a department.<\/p>\n

In approving the recommendation from Provost Bruno, 东精影业<\/abbr> President David Lassner stated that “this reorganization will strengthen the ability of the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at M\u0101noa to advance our unique mission, especially in light of the financial challenges now before us.”<\/p>\n

The new college is the latest step in the ongoing discussions regarding the reorganization of the 东精影业<\/abbr> M\u0101noa that began in 2016. It follows the merger of the School of Travel Industry Management and the Shidler College of Business<\/a> in August 2019, the creation of the 东精影业<\/abbr> M\u0101noa Provost position and recombination of the 东精影业<\/abbr> President and 东精影业<\/abbr> M\u0101noa Chancellor positions approved<\/a> in April 2019, and the integrated coordination of administrative services between the campus and system.<\/p>\n

Phase 2 of the 东精影业<\/abbr> M\u0101noa reorganization<\/a> will further refine and sharpen the mission, leadership, and functions of the various support units primarily reporting to the 东精影业<\/abbr> M\u0101noa Provost. The formal consultation on that phase will begin in fall 2020 with a goal of implementation beginning in January 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
