Program Discontinuance Hearing
A Program Discontinuance Hearing will be held today at 3:30 p.m. in the Memorial Union’s PDK Room. The School of Library Information Management is discontinuing the Master of Science in Legal Information Management and the Certificate in Legal Information Management.
Dwight Moore, associate professor of biology and chair of academic affairs, said that the hearing is mandated by the program discontinuance policy and that the hearing is a chance for faculty and students to voice concerns.
Moore said that there are currently no full-time faculty teaching courses in the program and that it has been nearly two years since any students have been involved in the program.
PRIDE Day of Silence
A Day of Silence forum will be held during the evening of April 15 in Memorial Union’s PDK Room. The national Day of Silence is April 17.
Luke Wolford, sophomore sociology major and PRIDE executive chair, said that 15-20 members of PRIDE participated in last year’s Day of Silence.
According to www.dayofsilence.org, the Day of Silence is “a project of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) and is a student-led day of action when concerned students, from middle school to college, take some form of a vow of silence to bring attention to the name-calling, bullying and harassment – in effect, the silencing – experienced by LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) students and their allies.”
The Day of Silence began at the University of Virginia in 1996.
