- The arts propose that they be in a School of the Arts within the humanities college.
- Mass Comm would prefer being with the social sciences, but could live with a separate college for them and the arts.

Placement of the arts and Mass Comm
We've posted proposals from the arts departments and Mass Comm about their placement after the split on the task force web site.

Seems like the committee is pretty far advanced in its deliberations and in the construction of a draft plan to give to Dr. Sethna. Is my impression of this correct?
ReplyDeleteIf it is, I'm wondering if moving this quickly is in the best interest of representing the faculty's wishes or encouraging as wide a participation as is possible. Many faculty are still away; none of us is under contract yet. There was, and I believe still is, a sense that we should wait to work on this until people are back to work and under contract.
I'm also aware that we have until October to come up with a plan.
If we really are as close to a proposal as it seems to me, why are we moving this quickly without waiting for more general meetings after classes begin and we're all here?
