Students in Opposition of Florida Atlantic University Course Cuts
CUT OUR CLASSES, CUT OUR FUTURE! Please reconsider recent and future course cuts. Cutting these classes will prevent many students from graduating on time or at all. We are simply asking the university to reconsider their decision and implement cuts only after listening to suggestions from department leaders and identifying each departments specific needs.
Why is this important?
Due to recent financial cuts, the university has decided to cut courses immediately, starting this SUMMER. The university has cut all graduate level courses with enrollments of less than eleven students, last summer. A similar decision has been made for undergraduate level courses with enrollments of less than twenty-four students. Some of these courses are apart of critical shortage areas within education. Some are only offered one semester a year. Cutting these classes will prevent many students from graduating on time or at all. We are simply asking the university to reconsider their decision and implement cuts only after listening to suggestions from department leaders and identifying each departments specific needs.
Students please sign and explain your specific situation. If you have any suggestions to assist the university with solving this problem please comment as well.
