 While reviewing and reshuffling the Ministry, Urechia dismissed the socialist and atheist activist Ioan Nădejde from his position as teacher, and played a part in the decision to curb the spread of socialism among the faculty of Iaşi University.However, he cast aside political preferences to assign "Junimist" author Ion Luca Caragiale the position of inspector in the counties of Suceava and Neamţ.Urechia had prepared a program for administrative reform at several levels, but the brevity of his term prevented him from putting it into practice.
