BELOW IS AN EMAIL I RECEIVED FROM THE HEAD OF THE ARTDM DEPARTMENT. THIS IS TERRIBLE. LET'S DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
Hi fellow faculty members in Art Digital Media and Photography.
Last Friday faculty in ARTDM and ART were informed that many of our courses were going to be cut from the Fall 2011 schedule. These courses include ARTDM 136 (digital Photo) ARTDM 224 (typography) ARTDM 117 (Digital Illustration) and ART 160 (Intro to Photography).
It is important for us to inform our students of these impending cuts so they can voice their concerns to the administration.
If these cuts happen there will no longer be any photography classes including analog and digital offered at DVC. Our graphic design program will be compromised since students will not be able to take typography or illustration. Please urge your students to write e-mails to the administrators in our district to protest these horrible cuts.
The Division of Applied and Fine Arts has been asked to shoulder a huge percentage of the proposed cuts for the college while other Divisions have taken no cuts. What will DVC look like without ART, DRAMA, and MUSIC, Photography?
Please ask your students to send e-mails explaining how the proposed cuts will affect their educational goals at DVC.
Here are some e-mails to pass on to your students.
Chancellor for the district, Helen Benjamin: HBenjamin@4cd.net
President at DVC, Peter Garcia: pgarcia@dvc.edu
Vice President at DVC, Susan Lamb: slamb@dvc.edu
