Updated: University of Montana faculty question higher ed commissioner

The status quo will not serve the University of Montana well, and the flagship must "embrace relevancy" as it moves forward, said Commissioner of Higher Education Clayton Christian.

And as UM makes decisions about its future, faculty members must be heard, Christian said.

"I think that that voice hasn’t been heard enough," he said. "And that’s my plan. I want to see that we engage this group more concretely."

Christian spoke and took questions Thursday at the UM Faculty Senate meeting, the first since last week’s announcement that the Commissioner’s Office had asked President Royce Engstrom to depart at the end of December.
