Changes For The Western All-Stars?

MU students rally to save their program

University President James Garland and Provost Jeffrey Herbst met with students and faculty Wednesday and Friday to discuss the provost’s recommendation to transform the school. Currently students to create their own major. The proposed plan would encompass all university honors programs.

Under Herbst’s recommendations, if the president were to accept it, the Miami honors and scholars programs would be merged over a number of years along with some form of a self-designed interdisciplinary major to the Western Honors Program.
