Discussions of school and college mergers are currently underway and a formal reorganization proposal will be presented during an academic affairs and enrollment committee meeting of the board of trustees in February, according to the report.

The merger plans come as Wright State looks to save money following recent budget cuts of $30.8 million. President Cheryl Schrader has said over the next several months the university will undergo a prioritization process in order to decide what operations and programs are necessary and which ones could either be scaled down or eliminated.
