Furton, former dean of the College of Arts & Sciences, said he appointed Marco Rubio in 2011 as a senior fellow and co-instructor. He said Michael Heithaus, dean of CAS, and John Stack, professor and SIPA director, renewed Rubio’s contract in 2014.
University Provost Ken Furton said plans to merge two colleges and add a department to a school will have “no impact on students,” and he would like to make a decision by the end of the year.
Furton, the executive vice president of academic affairs, said at the most recent Faculty Senate meeting that the Colleges of Arts & Sciences and Education could merge, and so could Architecture + the Arts with the School of Journalism & Mass Communication.
