Smith tasked staffers and professors with “reshaping” their operations—but with few specifics emerging in the wake of the charge, a confused Faculty is waiting with bated breath for details.At the time, Smith called for broad-based restructuring of FAS, instead of simply shaving costs at the edges, to make up a $220 million deficit over the next two years.“Reshaping starts with the academic activities we’re doing,” said...
