discontinuance

A town hall meeting was held with the purpose of answering student questions about the meaning and implications of discontinuance of the SJMC.

The School of Journalism and Mass Communication at CU will be no more.

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.

Twilight is settling on CU’s journalism school, but not on the study of journalism.

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.

Following the release of its report, an accreditation committee is giving the School of Journalism and Mass Communication provisional accreditation this year.

Faculty and students in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication are still digesting CU’s Program Discontinuance Committee’s recent report, recommending a strategic realignment.

CU’s journalism school should be discontinued for reasons of “strategic realignment” according to the final report of the Program Discontinuance Committee.

The second appointed committee charged with gathering information from concerned students, faculty, industry leaders and staff in deciding the future of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication is underway as its open forum brought in an initial wave of community feedback Monday.

The School of Journalism and Mass Communication alumni are speaking up and speaking out about the proposed changes to the school.
