I heard rumblings today about more serious problems in the IDV program. Can anyone provide details? Heard it started in a recent Grad Council meeting.

Please, for us nonacademic dummies, what is IDV?

IDV = international development = the Ph.D. degree in Economic Development

Started in geography, moved to international, moved to business, moved out of business and split off from economic and workforce development, which went to CoST, last fall and finally landed in political science, name changed to Political Science and International Affairs in CoAL, is that right?

No IDV thread would be complete without mentioning Ken Malone. I have heard rumblings that his job snowball is melting.

So does this mean Lassen won't get a Ph.D.?
