Memorial University will be undertaking a review of the university’s faculty and school structure to assess its alignment with the institution’s needs. The university explains that it is in a period of enrolment contraction and that, compared to other universities that it benchmarks against, its current structure is an outlier. “The goal and objective really is, at the end of the day, to ensure that our academic administrative structures are as efficient, as effective, and as accountable as possible,” said Memorial President Janet Morrison. The review will focus on organizational structure and will not examine academic programs or course offerings. The report will be released to Memorial’s Senate and Board in Fall 2026, with final Board consideration in early 2027.
