The 29 programs
Radford University is evaluating 29 programs to see if they fit in the university's long term vision and to see if they are productive enough to continue. This was originally described as part of pair of parallel strategies. One has to do with positioning Radford as a university of the future. The other had to do with the budget cuts in the state budget.
The future, so far as we know, is still on the way, but the budget cuts aren't.
Still, a campus forum on the issue is scheduled for Thursday -- scheduled to begin 10 minutes after the Highlanders tip off against the University of North Carolina in the first round of the NCAA men's basketball tournament.
Some discussion is already going on outside the forum. Here, for instance. And here.

The Budget Open Forum originally scheduled for Thursday, March 19, at 3:30 p.m., will be postponed due to Radford University’s 2:50 p.m. game that day against UNC in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
The Forum is rescheduled for Thursday, March 26, at 3:30 p.m., in the Bondurant Auditorium in Preston Hall. The rescheduling will allow the RU community the opportunity to attend the Forum and support our championship basketball team on Thursday.
