SUBJECT: School of Journalism and Mass Communication Program Discontinuance Forums

Dear Colleagues:

As you may be aware, program discontinuance proceedings have been initiated
for the School of Journalism and Mass Communication.

Organizational responsibility for program discontinuance falls to a
specially empanelled campus committee consisting of the members of the
Academic Review and Planning Advisory Committee (ARPAC), the Associate Vice
Chancellor (AVC) for Graduate Studies, the AVC for Undergraduate Education,
the Vice Provost for Budget and Planning, and the Vice Chancellor for
Diversity, Equity, and Community Engagement. These individuals constitute
the campus Program Discontinuance Committee. The committee has sixty days to
complete its work. It must gather information around a set of issues
indicated by the Board of Regents. The committee meets with faculty, staff,
and students. They issue a report to the provost which includes a
recommendation for or against discontinuance. Please refer to the following
link for details regarding these proceedings:

We know that many of you may have questions or concerns regarding the
process and what it will mean for the School of Journalism and Mass
Communication. The Program Discontinuance Committee wishes to hear from
you. Two meetings open to university faculty and staff have been scheduled
for next week. Both meetings will take place in the University Memorial
Center (UMC), Room 235.

Tuesday, September 7: 12 noon - 1:30 p.m.
Wednesday, September 8: 12 noon - 1:30 p.m.

Doors will open at 11:45 a.m. Discussion will begin promptly at 12 noon and
run until 1:30 p.m.

We encourage everyone to contribute to this important conversation.
