Central Campus Hot Water Conversion: (New Project This Report)\nVan Winkle\nAs part of the Campus Utility Master Plan, the Central Campus Hot Water Conversion Project will convert a large portion of the central quadrangle of campus from steam to hot water. This project includes the creation of a new satellite campus heating plant to be located in the basement of Upham Hall. Hot water piping will be extended from this new satellite campus heating plant to the buildings in central area of campus. The project will also create redundant connections to the existing distribution piping from the South Chiller Plant. The cross connection between the two plants will improve robustness and reliability for both the South Chiller Plant and the new Central Campus Utility Plant. The new hot water piping will be located in the Existing tunnel systems and will be direct buried in other locations. Hot water connection and conversion of Ogden is occurring as that building is being renovated. Hot water connection and conversion to Williams, Bonham House, Warfield, MacMillan, Kreger, Irvin, Alumni, Bishop, McGuffey, Hall Auditorium, King Library, Harrison and Upham will occur as part of this project.\n\nThis project is a key step in the Utility Master Plan to meet strategic energy reduction and campus sustainability goals of decommissioning coal-fired steam systems by 2026. The scope of the project includes direct buried hot water piping, direct buried chilled water piping and converting the buildings named above from steam heating to hot water heating. The change from steam to hot water will improve both the efficiency and reliability of heating the central portion of the campus.\n\nThe Design Architect\/Engineer selection process is currently underway.\n\nDelivery Method: Construction Manager at Risk\nProposed Budget: ,000,000\nDesired Start: February 2021\nDesired Completion: September 2022\n\n\" class=\"wp-image-958\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-336-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-336-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-336-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-336-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-336-624x351.png 624w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-336.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a05c0340b3ea&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a05c0340b3ea\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-337-1024x576.png\" alt=\"BOARD OF TRUSTEES MINUTES\nFebruary 21, 2020\nAcademic and Student Affairs\n\nRESOLUTION R2020 - 31\n\nWHEREAS, University Senate on December 2, 2019 voted unanimously to forward the recommendations of the Classics Consolidation process coordinator to the Provost for consideration; and\n\nWHEREAS, it is the recommendation of the Dean of the College of Arts and Science, the Provost, and the President, to consolidate the Department of Classics with the Department of French and Italian.\n\nNOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees hereby approves the consolidation of the Department of Classics with the Department of French and Italian, to become effective on date determined by the Provost; and\n\nBE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that for the present the consolidated Department\u2019s name shall be the Department of French and Italian, until such time that a new name is proposed and approved.\n\nApproved by the Board of Trustees\nT.

Senate accepted the request, and Provost Callahan appointed Terri F. Barr, Professor in the Department of Marketing, to act as Process Coordinator for this merger (see SR 14-01 for process document). Following SR 14-01, Dr. Barr began a process that included speaking with Dr. Ryan Barilleaux, Interim Chair of Classics, who provided a short summary of the faculty members in the department and the four departments under consideration as merger partners. A meeting with CAS Dean Chris Makaroff, Sr. Associate Dean Renee Baernstein, and Dr. Barilleaux, to review the process took place in early August. At that meeting, a timeline was established that would have a plan from Dr. Barr in front of University Senate by the end of the Fall Semester 2019, and a merger completed by the end of the Spring semester of 2020.\n\nSR 14-01 is the \u2018Guide for the Consolidation, Partition, Transfer, or Elimination of Academic Divisions, Department, or Programs\u2019 passed by University Senate on September 23, 2013 and updated on February 6, 2017. SR 14-01 outlines the process being undertaken. (The full resolution is found in Appendix A). Prior to Dr. Barr\u2019s participation in the process, the Department of Classics had identified several potential merger partners. Members of the Department visited with either Chairs or other faculty members of four CAS departments to gauge interest and fit - German, Russian, Asian and Middle Eastern Languages and Culture (GRAMELAC); History; French and Italian; and Comparative Religion.\" class=\"wp-image-960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-338-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-338-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-338-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-338-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-338-624x351.png 624w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-338.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a05c0340bb0f&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a05c0340bb0f\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-339-1024x576.png\" alt=\"BOARD OF TRUSTEES MINUTES - Continued\n\nIn order to ensure that all stakeholders\u2019 interests and concerns were considered in the process, Dr. Barr set up meetings as follows:\n\n[List of meeting dates and meeting personnel]\n\nThe Department of Classics expressed a set of priorities that they wanted considered as recommendations for a merger partner were made. They include:\n\n1. Maintaining the integrity of their program, without interference in programming\n2. Staying together as a group in order to ensure the integrity of their program\n3. Maintaining their visibility as a discipline, including retaining Classics in the name of  any merger partner\n4. Consideration as a full partner within their new department and the opportunity to  offer cross-listed courses\n5. Maintaining Greek language courses\n\nAdditionally, concerns voiced included being asked to merge again in the future, should they be merged with another small department, and becoming the \u2018service\u2019 arm (offering more than their share of service courses) if merged with a larger department.\n\nThe Department of Classics underwent an Academic Program Review in November of 2018. The outcome of that review identified several areas of concern that the review team felt needed to be addressed. While the review team strongly recommended that the Department of Classics remain a standalone department, they also recognized the enormous challenge associated with resources (to replace faculty lines; take on additional curricular initiatives; recruit students). Recommendations were to streamline the curriculum, increase the number and diversity of majors, enhance experiential programs (study abroad, independent research), increase visibility on campus, and recruit incoming students. In spite of recommending the Department stay a stand-alone entity, the Dean\u2019s office asked for two plans of action. Plan 1 was to continue as a stand-along entity. Plan 2 was a merger with another department amenable to such a plan.

In those meetings, it became quickly clear that the Departments of GRAMELAC and History and did not see how a merger with the Department of Classics made sense for them. The department chairs had different set of concerns, including fit and visibility. The Chairs of Comparative Religion and French and Italian were more open to discussing the potential opportunities, although issues around governance, curriculum, and resources were key concerns. Meetings with the faculty of History and Comparative Religion, and emails from concerned faculty in GRAMELAC, uncovered strong misgivings about how a merger with Classics would benefit their own departments.\n\nOf the four departments under consideration as merger partners, the Department of French and Italian (both the Chair and the Faculty) appeared to see this merger as an opportunity for research and teaching collaboration, cross-listed coursework, study abroad, and an opportunity to reshape their own identity and curriculum with their new colleagues.\n\nA draft report recommending that the Classics faculty merge with the Department of French and Italian was circulated for comments before Dr. Barr was to present the report to Senate. At that time, Dr. Tuck asked that he be moved to the Department of History and not the Department of French and Italian. The Department of History was receptive to that move. A discussion with the faculty of the Department of Classics, with input from the Department of French and Italian confirmed that Dr. Tuck wished to move to the Department of History, and the remaining three faculty were strongly in favor of moving to the Department of French and Italian.\n\nTo that end, Dr. Barr (with the support of Dr. Barilleaux), recommend that the majority of the faculty of the Department of Classics be merged with the Department of French and Italian to form a new department that includes Classics in the name in some fashion, and that Dr. Tuck become a member of the Department of History. An implementation team will be put into place to develop a plan to complete this merger by the beginning of the Fall Semester 2020.\" class=\"wp-image-962\"

IT Fiber Distribution Improvement:\n\tFellman\n\tThis project includes improvements to the outside plant infrastructure and fiber backbone distribution system for Miami University\u2019s Oxford Campus, Hamilton Campus and Middletown Campus. Both existing and new pathways will be utilized to house new fiber optic cable. The new fiber optic cable will provide a redundant fiber backbone to select academic and administrative buildings, which are listed later in this report. The reliability of the IT network to the selected buildings will be improved by the addition of the redundant fiber service to these buildings. The buildings impacted on the Oxford Campus include the following: Alumni Hall, Dauch Indoor Sports Center, Yager West, Bachelor, Boyd, CPA, Art Building, Hiestand, Harrison, Irvin, McGuffey, Main Steam Plant, Phillips, Presser, Roudebush, \tand Shriver. \n\n\tAll facilities at the Middletown and Hamilton Campuses will be affected. New underground conveyances at the Hamilton Campus will be completed under Phase I of the project whereas the New Fiber Infrastructure will be installed under Phase II of the project following University Hall renovation commencement. \n\n\tFiber on the Oxford and Middletown Campuses has been installed and is operational. Installation of conveyances at the Hamilton campus is ongoing. Fiber installation on the Hamilton campus has now begun since University Hall renovation is underway.\n\" class=\"wp-image-965\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-343-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-343-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-343-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-343-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-343-624x351.png 624w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-343.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a05c0340cceb&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a05c0340cceb\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-344-1024x576.png\" alt=\"BOARD OF TRUSTEES MINUTES\nJune 25, 2021\n\nMiami University \nPhysical Facilities Department \nStatus of Capital Projects Report\n\nIN DESIGN (Pre-Contract)\n\n1. Central Campus Hot Water Conversion:\n\tVan Winkle\n\tAs part of the Campus Utility Master Plan, the Central Campus Hot Water Conversion Project will convert a large portion of the central quadrangle of campus from steam to hot water. This project includes the creation of a new satellite campus heating plant to be located in the basement of Upham Hall. Hot water piping will be extended from this new satellite campus heating plant to the buildings in central area of campus. The project will also create redundant connections to the existing distribution piping from the South Chiller Plant. The cross connection between the two plants will improve robustness and reliability for both the South Chiller Plant and the new Central Campus Utility Plant. The new hot water piping will be located in the existing tunnel systems and will be direct buried in other locations. Hot water connection and conversion of Ogden is occurring as that building is being renovated. Hot water connection and conversion to Williams, Bonham House, Warfield, MacMillan, Kreger, Irvin, Alumni, Bishop, McGuffey, Hall Auditorium, King Library, Harrison and Upham will occur as part of this project.\n\nThis project is a key step in the Utility Master Plan to meet strategic energy reduction and campus sustainability goals of decommissioning coal-fired steam systems by 2026. The scope of the project includes direct buried hot water piping, direct buried chilled water piping and converting the buildings named above from steam heating to hot water heating. The change from steam to hot water will improve both the efficiency and reliability of heating the central portion of the campus.\n\nThe project is in the schematic design phase. Design work and reviews are on-going. The selection process for the Construction Manager at Risk (CMR) is in progress. This project is expected to begin construction in spring 2022 with construction being completed in fall 2023.\n\nDelivery Method: Construction Manager at Risk\nProposed Budget: ,000,000\nDesired Start: March 2022\nDesired Completion: December 2023\n\" class=\"wp-image-966\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-344-1024x576.png 1024w,

PERIOD.\nBy Meredith Perkins \n\nIn the College of Arts and Science, an academic division in which 65.8% of students are female, the closest thing to a period product in any academic building is typically an empty, rusting dispenser from the 1960s.\n\nThe dispenser charges a quarter for tampons that do not exist. \n\nThe machine is guarded by a hefty Master Lock, so students will not steal the tampons that \u2026 still do not exist.\n\nYou can go to Harrison Hall, Upham Hall, Irvin Hall and Bachelor Hall; you will see abandoned dispensers in each bathroom, standing as nothing more than landmarks of a Miami University from 50 years ago.\n\nWhen nearly two-thirds of students in these academic buildings have periods, why do we lack period products in Miami\u2019s older buildings \u2014 especially when other academic buildings on campus demonstrate better models?\n\n[\u2026]\n\nIn McGuffey Hall, where nearly 70% of students in the College of Education, Health, and Society are female, period products and other hygiene products are easily accessible. They sit in a basket on the bathroom counter. \n\nThis initiative began in 2020 with the Periods Rock! project, which aimed to raise awareness for menstrual hygiene and reproductive health initiatives on campus.\n\nAs someone who has been in the highly-stressful situation of starting a period without a period product on-hand \u2014 an experience 86% of people who menstruate have had \u2014 it was a relief to know I could walk to Armstrong to find a free period product.\n\nMany buildings and departments at our university have done a great job providing menstrual hygiene products, but many more have subpar access.\n\nAt a university that is majority-female, we can\u2019t fall to the standard of requiring students to walk across campus to get the products they need. Providing period products in all public restrooms is a low-cost solution that universally benefits the student body.\n\n[\u2026]\" class=\"wp-image-972\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-350-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-350-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-350-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-350-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-350-624x351.png 624w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-350.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a05c0340e558&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a05c0340e558\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/meyersde\/files\/2025\/06\/IRV100-352-1024x576.png\" alt=\"MULTIPLE HUMANITIES DEPARTMENTS FACE CHANGES BUT SEE POSITIVE FUTURES - Continued\n\n\u201cOur students want more than one major and want a more customized constellation of different kinds of programs and credentials that are aligned to their personal and professional goals,\u201d Haynes said.\n\n[\u2026]\n\nIn Irvin Hall, the Department of German, Russian, Asian, and Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures (GRAMELAC) has found a solution to a problem that both it and the French, Italian and Classical Studies department faces. The two departments submitted a plan to combine the majors that are currently offered into one major with multiple concentrations that will retain all faculty while teaching the same curriculum.\n\nEven with the preservation of staff and classes, Mila Ganeva, GRAMELAC department chair, said issues come with combining multiple majors across a wide array of subjects.\n\n\u201cIt is a challenge to maintain the brand of the individual majors that have been attractive to the students,\u201d Ganeva said. \u201c[The major] is going to be called a different name, but that doesn't mean that you're not going to study the things that you want  to study.\u201d\n\nWithin the changing state of higher education, Ganeva said a liberal arts education is important for everyone across campus.\n\n\u201cMiami is a liberal arts institution,\u201d Ganeva said, \u201cand our students, whether they major in engineering or computer science or health sciences or nursing or business, do
