Iowa State’s provost announced 13 names of the 17 members who will serve on the college combination planning committee this fall.

Ben Allen, vice president for academic affairs and provost, released the names after plans to combine the College of Education and the College of Family and Consumer Sciences were announced.

Members of both colleges will be represented, Allen said.

He said the reason for the committee is to address issues raised in the combination.

Choosing a new dean, evaluating governance documents, curriculum and promotion and tenure will all be addressed, said Maurice MacDonald, chairman and professor of human development and family studies. MacDonald was chosen to be on the committee.

He said it is difficult to end a tradition which these two separate colleges have had.

“[I] hope the planning committee can develop some concrete plans and make the best of it right away,” MacDonald said.

He said a deadline for the issues have not been set but expects to see proposals in the late to mid-fall of next year.

Those on the committee are:

* Thomas Andre, professor and chairman of curriculum and instruction

* Susan Carlson, associate provost and committee facilitator

* Letha DeMoss, academic fiscal officer for the College of Family and Consumer Sciences

* Heidi Eichorn, academic fiscal officer for the College of Education

* Ann Marie Fiore, college caucus chairwoman and associate professor of textiles and clothing

* Mary Gregoire, professor and chairwoman of apparel and educational studies and hospitality management

* Georgia Hale, assistant dean of the College of Education

* Suzanne Hendrich, associate dean of the College of Family and Consumer Sciences

* Maurice MacDonald, professor and chairman of human development and family studies

* Gary Phye, college caucus chairman and professor of curriculum and instruction

* Roger Smith, associate dean of the College of Education and professor of industrial education and technology

* JaneAnn Stout, associate dean of College Family and Consumer Sciences
