To protest the recommendation to close Bowling Green State University's doctoral program in the S...

We, the undersigned, express our support for the doctoral program at BGSU's School of Media and Communication and our opposition to the plan to close it. We call for an immediate accounting of the college's decision and the process it has followed under BGSU's Academic Charter and alternative options that may have been considered.

Why is this important?

The Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Bowling Green State University has recommended the closure of the doctoral program in the School of Media and Communication at BGSU. The school was told that that the overall quality of the program led to this decision, but no specific details or justifications were offered.
