BOULDER, Colo.—The University of Colorado at Boulder is reviewing the future of its journalism program.
CU said Wednesday that a committee will start the process of “program discontinuance” for the School of Journalism and Mass Communication, and another committee will explore what a new “information and communication technology” program could look like.
Interim Provost Russell Moore says the discontinuance process is what any academic program with tenured faculty undergoes when changes are considered.
The journalism school’s 741 undergraduate and graduate students can complete their degrees, whatever the committees decide.
Chancellor Philip DiStefano says the school needs to change with the communications industry.
