The Dean's office has cut program funding and thus resulted in Franci Duran's position being lost, along with 9 courses currently not being offered anymore. We are at full enrollment, and this isn't fair for these cuts to have taken place. We need to determine the best line of action and will need support from the entire program. Past, present, and future Multimedia students should help rally for our education

What exactly is the "full story"? For anyone not in multimedia, your post doesn't really say much.

You have my support!
This isn't fair at all.

That's one of the problems, we have barely been informed of what exactly is happening. There are a few of us taking charge and attempting to get more information from the university currently in order to get a better idea and inform everyone else of the problem and it's details.

Where did you get this information from?

We have received information from the head of Humanities as well as other faculty members.

Could you let us know when everyone is meeting up to do this, and what exactly we will be doing? I would like to join =].

this sucks. it's so hard to try and get my courses since many of the required classes arent being offered....

Thank you for showing interest everyone, unfortunately we have been notified by multiple faculty members, including the Dean of Humanities, that the courses available are the courses that we get. They will not be adding any courses as they have deemed the ones available the important ones, and that the other course that are no longer offered not a top priority. Personally, the response I received was short and uninformative, but this is all I can provide at this point.

Well that just completely sucks. I want to take both first year medias in my first year and perhaps major in media, and it's already competitive enough getting in; now they've cut one of the cores for 1B03 which will make it even harder. -__-

This goes for CSCT as well. Barely any courses were available from the required list, which puts me graduating on time in jeopardy, and when I asked the faculty if courses could be switched around or others opened, the only answer I received was basically, "Well, there's nothing we can do about it". It was a bit more glorified, but a three-line reply is simply not good enough. We pay good money to go here too, and we expect a satisfactory return on our investment. It's about time they start realizing that fact.

So, if they are not going to re-open some of the required courses again, then is there even a point in being in the Honours Multimedia program? I don't want to waste 3 and a half years if I won't be able to graduate with my BA because I'm missing a course like MMEDIA 4J03(required for Honours Multimedia, but not offered this year, and according to you, will never be offered again).

If you never had the opportunity to take the requirement, they'll let you graduate without it.
