University of Montana’s program "prioritization" goes off the rails

Faculty groups of seemingly all stripes are questioning the legitimacy of the controversial prioritization process used to rank University of Montana programs as interim President Sheila Stearns prepares to decide what to cut and what to punt to her successor during her final few weeks in office.

The process, conducted on an expedited timeline, prompted members of the administration and the campus task force in charge of prioritization to acknowledge its limitations at the outset. In recent days, however, task force members have doubted whether the effort has achieved even its most modest ambitions. Other critics are hinting at a legal challenge that, if successful, would invalidate the entire eight-month process.
