2. Updating Names of School/Colleges Acting as Departments
The ATP-Workday implementation offers an opportunity to better align the academic structure of the university with structures in finance and human resources. Academic divisions (aka school/colleges) have departments associated with them and those departments have courses (subjects) and programs. The Workday software has several hierarchies that are used to make these and other associations between elements of the university structure. The academic structure, the cost center hierarchy (finance and budget) and the supervisory organization (human resources also called “sup orgs”) structures will be aligned to make it easier to identify who is a part of a department (and thus a school/college) and then which department is paying for something, such as instructors for a course.
One stumbling block that has been identified is the fact that the current names of the school/colleges-acting-as-departments are confusing because they are the same as the name of the school/college. We’ve been asked to make it easier to differentiate say Letters & Science the college from Letters & Science the department owner of the Biochemistry, BA (BA 103) program. We propose to the University Academic Planning Council these changes:
| Acad Org Code | Proposed Name | Current Name |
| A0000 | Agric & Life Sciences-General | Col of Agricultural & Life Sci |
| B0000 | Business-General | School of Business |
| C0000 | Continuing Studies-General | Division of Continuing Studies |
| D0000 | Education-General | School of Education |
| E0000 | Engineering-General | College of Engineering |
| H0000 | Human Ecology-General | School of Human Ecology |
| K0000 | Law-General | Law School |
| L0000 | Letters & Science-General | College of Letters & Science |
| M0000 | Med & Pub Health Sci-General | School of Med & Pub Hlth ADM |
| M1111 | Med & Pub Health Pro-General | School of Med & Pub Hlth ACAF |
| N0000 | Nursing-General | School of Nursing |
| P0000 | Pharmacy-General | School of Pharmacy |
| V0000 | Veterinary Medicine-General | School of Veterinary Medicine |
| Z0000 | Environmental Studies-General | Inst for Environmental Studies |
The changes only impact name of the department that is the school/college acting as a department which do not typically have a public presence. Because this change is administrative in nature and is a campus level request, this request is being made via a memo to the University Academic Planning Council rather than generating 14 Lumen Structures proposals and having them go through each school/college academic planning council. Nothing other than the name will change, what the school/college-acting-as-department owns remains the same and the dean is still the chair of the department. The effective date of the change will be 5/12/2025 which is the first day of the summer 2025 term in alignment with campus practice of implementing changes to departments with the first day of the summer term. All the impacted academic divisions have been consulted about this and given an opportunity to ask questions and raise concerns. Two divisions raised questions that were answered to their satisfaction.
3. Center Name Change
Rename a center, Center for Human Genomics and Precision Medicine to the Center for Precision Medicine, School of Medicine and Public Health Administration, School of Medicine and Public Health, effective Summer 2025
