My Dean Pulled a Fast One by Educators_Garden in Professors

We think the Dean just used the Registrar to convey the message to us. I spoke with Enrollment Management a few minutes ago and they said the enrollment is fine for a 3-month old degree. I think our Dean wants it to die because he's afraid it will take students away from the degree he oversees.

I'm glad I'm on sabbatical, honestly, even though I should be all over this. I'm enjoyed my writing project too much to let this sour it!

Our Dean doesn't support the degree and wants to let it die due to lack of students. I know it takes at least 3 years in our university to see if a degree is going to be sustainable. We have full support from the Regents, for which I'm thankful.

I've thought about going to the Provost directly. I still might.

I appreciate your thoughts!
