METAezra discusses potential CALS faculty and department cuts/consolidations. Nagowski also says:
What disappoints me is that there is little to no discussion about what can happen across college/unit lines. Why wouldn’t it make sense for AEM to work more fully with the Johnson School, ILR, or the Hotel School? Or why not consider consolidating the rural sociology or education programs with PAM?
I agree, but there are so many opportunities for consolidation around Cornell (AEM, Econ, PAM) and I just don’t see any of these programs collapsing into each other anytime soon.
