Final Version 02/12/18 1| Page Academic Organization Review Steering Committee (ARC) Report The Academic Reorganization Committee’s (ARC) work focused on an understanding of WSU’s health and health services capabilities and future regional/student market/need/success. To this end, ARC rec- ognized early in its process that WSU has many assets in the health services field. The initial effort of the steering committee has been directed towards the construction of a ‘first best fit’ proposal around which data can be collected for review and subsequent refinement. The proposal which follows is the ARC’s suggested reorganization which seeks to accomplish the charge given to the committee. The committee’s intent is that this proposal serve as a model to collect data to begin a determination of whether or not such a reorganization is in the best interest of the University, at this time. Furthermore, it is the committee’s intent that this model reorganization be updated, as ap- propriate, based upon the collected data and community feedback which follows.
