Wayne State may cut urban college

This item notes that WSU's Board of Governors will vote June 8 on whether to eliminate the College of Urban, Labor and Metropolitan Affairs (CULMA), which has 742 of the university's 33,300 students. Jack Kay, CULMA interim dean, described the college as "an experiment." "I think the notion is that the academic programs have not thrived as much as they should have had they been in the traditional colleges," he said. Frank Koscielski, an instructor in the college's interdisciplinary studies program, said the change would dilute the university's urban mission.
