The answer to the above title is not as easy as one thinks.  It depends on the level or where the restructuring is taken place.  Looking at the recent state-own institution, one can see the restructuring happened at the System Office.  Example: the state of CT and WI have done this, OK is considering to follow suit.  This is a fundamental change, which will impact many administrator positions such as the College president, perhaps potentially with all her or his cabinet members.  SIU in IL is a good example where the restructuring process occurs at the (individual) institutional level.  Most impacted will be Deans and Department Heads.  This morning we learned one of the state-owned institutions in MO is restructuring in a smaller scale i.e., at the program level, where several programs are combined.  The restructuring efforts have the main goal to reduce the administrative cost dues to redundancy, overlaps, and non-contributing value added positions created in the past for different reasons.  But now, the past is the past and embrace the future.  Perhaps, it is long overdue where US colleges have to be managed equally professional as other companies in other industries do.  This will bring a bigger shift in the hiring of the top person and also the Leadership program or major under the Graduate College of Education which traditionally produces such a leader in the past.  This shifting paradigm occurs because the changes in competitive environment and it may take years before one can see the whole US higher ed in better shape.  A new breed of professionals may not coming from the College of Education.  Rather, from a new created program which we will reveal in our next Blog.  Please keep on checking the site.
