Apparently, CoB is already doing this.  I was just told that ED is trying to usurp/steal it away.  This one is going to be ugly.

I looked in the catalogue -- is this a "new" department (i.e. economic and workforce development?)

stephen,

I believe this department was formed when the Master's program in Economic Development was transferred to the College of S and T.

Can't keep up with the departments without a program  . . . guess I should go to the website, eh?


My question is -- with all of these migrations (contraction of colleges, repeated reallignments or assignmement of programs to different collagues, the bifurcation of newly created programs almost before they get up and running) -- how is it possible to verify the academic integrity of any of these "evolving" programs?

I am really looking forward to the day that my 5 year old and 8 year old learn "basic economic and finance principles". All I ask is that it does not cut into their recess time or learning in other areas. Perhaps Callie's Lemonade Stand in the summer will bring in more business. Of course - when you say "K - 12" you don't have to do the math to figure out whose dept. will oversee it.


Show me the money!
