Announcement regarding
the school of communication, information and library science
The four departments within the School of Communication, Information and Library Science (SCILS) have been divided between two of the university's other schools as part of an academic restructuring, effective July 1, 2010. This restructuring was announced by Provost Selase Williams in the spring of 2010.
With the elimination of SCILS, the departments of Journalism, Communication, and Computer Science have become part of the School of Arts and Sciences. The Department of Information and Library Science has shifted to the School of Education.
The changes were made as both a cost-saving measure and to improve the academic synergy involving those departments, according to Williams.
