THAT:����������������������������������� The Board of Regents of Higher Education authorizes The University of Montana-Missoula to reorganize the Department of Management in the School of Business Administration into the Department of Management and Marketing and the Department of Information Systems and Technology.

 

EXPLANATION:����������������� Growth in undergraduate business student enrollment of 37.4 percent from fall 1995 to fall 2000 and an explosive enrollment growth of almost 600 percent in the School�s Information Systems option have resulted in a wide span of control and range of responsibilities.� Reorganization will allow for two department chairs and will provide far more effective and efficient administration and service to students, faculty, and other constituencies.� The completed signature page resides on file at the President�s Office, The University of Montana-Missoula.�
