Episode 033: Buffalo School of Informatics to be dissolved
Today I attended an interesting podcast session on the unilateral dissolution of UB’s School of Informatics. Organized by Law Librarian Jim Milles, students affected by the program were invited to voice their concerns. As Jenn pointed out, 19 current students and recent alums were present even though we were in summer session.
These mainly consisted of the Masters in Library Science students, while the rest were Communication and Informatics students. I didn’t see any faculty nor officials present, so a lot of questions were really up in the air. I saw this primarily as an oppotunity for students to demonstrate how unfairly managed this administrative decision was made. You can read the rest of the points raised today on Jenn’s Library Matters blog.
