Dear Regents:
I am the elected student president of the Journalism Board, an organization of seven students. I will be graduating next month with a BS in Journalism, an emphasis in news editorial, a BA in psychology, and a certificate in International Media. I will speak to my experience as a double major. I hope to be the voice of the faculty that cannot speak out against their employer’s recommendation.
CU’s journalism dean says he is keeping a positive attitude about the provisional, rather than full, accreditation the School of Journalism and Mass Communication received this week.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
And for the CU Independent, and the world of journalism, it was a time of evolution and change.
The fall 2010 semester will forever be etched in our memories and on our web pages as a time of adversity and prosperity.
Provost Russell L. Moore is making recommendations to Chancellor Philip DiStefano regarding the discontinuance of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication in its current form.
While the Information, Communication, and Technology Exploratory Committee is the part of a two-pronged process charged with evaluating existing ICT assets, alumni and the public are expressing concern over possible program discontinuance at CU’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano is preparing for CU Boulder’s future by addressing the challenges and opportunities to come.
As the Academic Review and Planning Advisory Committee sat overlooking a room full of concerned students, parents and faculty members, one thing was made clear by those who spoke: CU-Boulder’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication offers a strong program for students, but has room to grow.
