Special Faculty Advisory Committee

The Special Faculty Advisory Committee was established by the provost on Oct. 20, 2008. The committee will engage in a planning process to identify curricular and programmatic options in the School of Arts and Sciences (both undergraduate and graduate programs) that could result in more efficient use of financial resources, while preserving the strengths of Brandeis University as a premier liberal arts college within a robust research university. A report from this committee will be expected by Dec. 15, 2008.
