The University of Maine System board of trustees will vote on Chancellor Richard Pattenaude’s restructuring plan during its meeting Monday from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. The meeting will take place at the system office in Bangor and is open to the public.
The restructuring plan is the culmination of a more than year-long effort to rework the academic, financial and administrative aspects of the university system. The plan includes advice from higher education experts, the administrations of the seven system campuses, professors, students, faculty members, the chancellor and the board of trustees.
The meeting will begin with the board chairperson’s comments, followed by those of the chancellor. The board will then vote for student representatives before moving on to the plan.
The board of trustees came to UMaine on Feb. 25 to hear the community’s suggestions for and concerns with the plan. The chancellor and members of the board came to UMaine on Oct. 28 to hear final concerns on the plan before drafting its finished version which will come before the trustees Monday.
