In the face of the Kenney government’s four-year program of savage cuts to the University’s budget the University of Alberta is considering restructuring its Faculties. If the Faculty of Arts is to be amalgamated or bundled with any other Faculty, following the model of the world’s best universities and Canada’s leading universities, that Faculty should be the Faculty of Science.

Stanford. Faculty of Humanities & Science
Harvard. Faculty of Arts & Sciences
Princeton. The Humanities stand alone.
