Drake University says it has a "focus on financial sustainability" while looking to streamline curriculum, but potentially at the cost of 13 academic programs. Provost Sue Mattison shared the school's plans to cut costs and adapt to decreasing enrollment numbers nationwide, adding more context to University President Marty Martin's early February update. "We are Bulldogs—built to adapt and respond," Martin said in a Feb. 7 statement. "The work we have before us demands that we make difficult decisions but brings with it the opportunity to create a brighter future. "
