University of Minnesota administrators are continuing talks of forming a new college by merging two existing ones.
But students are split over how the quality of education would be affected if the College of Biological Sciences and the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences are combined.
University officials announced the possible merger earlier this month. They’ve since formed a task force to summarize benefits, concerns and recommendations in a report, due this spring, for Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Karen Hanson.
