[email protected] A group of concerned Cal State Fullerton students and faculty met with the president’s administrative board to discuss the future of the university on Tuesday at the Ti- tan Student Union. The students discussed the Strategic Planning Activities document which states that the university would put less emphasis on programs that are “esoteric,” such as philoso- phy, literature and fine arts. According to the document, they would instead focus on those that would produce a needed expert labor force in fields like health care, public administration, science, engineering and business. Those in attendance were acting Director of University Planning/Writer of the Strategic Planning Activities, Mi- chael Parker; Vice President of Academic Affairs, Ephraim Smith; Vice President of Student Affairs, Robert Palmer and acting Chief Information Technology Officer, Chris Manriquez. Dean of Students Kandy Mink Salas served as the moderator. PHOTOS BY CHRISTA CONNELLY/Daily Titan Photo Editor Among the students who attended were current As- sociated Students Inc.
