UB School of Informatics Dissolution Podcast

Jenn writes “Sudden and seemingly unilateral decisions have been made by the University at Buffalo’s Provost to force out the Dean, and then dismantle the fledgling School of Informatics, which houses the Department of Library and Information Studies. LIS will be absorbed by Graduate School of Education, Communications will go over the College of Arts and Sciences, and the fate of the new Informatics degrees is still unclear.

Students and faculty have not had a voice in this process. Last night, 19 students and alums gathered to voice their concerns and talk about their positive experiences at SOI for a podcast hosted by Jim Milles at Check This Out. It’s episode 33, here. Please give it a listen. Students are concerned about their futures and want answers.”
