FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): IPFW is getting rid of several departments and degree programs as part of a major restructuring.

The Journal Gazette reports that university officials told the campus that starting January 1st the Geology, Philosophy and Women’s Studies programs will be eliminated, while the French and German degree programs will be suspended.

This comes on the heels of a meeting between IPFW and Purdue officials last week, in which Purdue’s board of trustees pushed for “significant changes” ahead of a December decision on whether or not to realign the school into two separate entities, run by Indiana University and Purdue respectively.

One employee told the paper that faculty members are “livid” with the move.
