President Dissolves Division of Enrollment Management In Effort to Cut Costs

In an email to faculty and staff Friday afternoon, President Nowaczyk announced that he would be dissolving the Division of Enrollment Management, effective today, July 31.

The Division included Admissions, Financial Aid, Registrar’s, and Student Success program offices. In the email, Nowaczyk wrote, “As a cost-saving measure, I am dissolving this Division effective today. I have met with Vice President Arlene Cash and informed her of my decision to eliminate her position as part of the restructuring. During her tenure here, VP Cash took several important steps to improve admissions and student success, including reorganizing several of our admissions operations, increasing our undergraduate application pool through the use of the Common App, and working to establish our cohort of student success coaches. I want to thank her for her commitment to FSU and to our students, and I wish her well in her future endeavors.”

Just two weeks before the beginning of an already interesting fall 2020 semester, the Admissions and Financial Aid offices once under the Division, which was formed by the President in 2018, will now report to the new Assistant to the President, Dr. Alan Walker. The Academic Success Network and the Registrar’s Office will report to the Division of Academic Affairs, which is currently headed by Interim Provost Mike Mathias.

The President continues, “As we reorganize, I do not anticipate any other positions being eliminated,” and states he will be meeting with staff members from the former Division’s offices next week.

As of Friday evening, Ms. Cash and the Division of Enrollment Management remain on the official Frostburg State website.
