06/23/2020 Stephanie Hutchins (NYSED-OCUE) reaches out with follow ups: The department is unable to approve changes without reviewing the proposed electives, syllabi for new courses, and faculty information. Notes that the requested changes appear significant, impacting 60% of the student curriculum.
06/29/2020 Alex Forrester (NYU-OAPRA) responds clarifying that this is a far smaller curricular impact than appears as all required courses are now offered as part of a limited set of electives and all electives will achieve same program objectives as previously required course work.
07/13/2020 Stephanie Hutchins responds proposed changes would require 18 elective credits, when four elective courses that will still be offered only make up 16 credits. Need to present additional electives including syllabi and faculty information for new courses. Also, provide updated syllabus for Long Form Narrative Journalism and Sample Program Schedule.
08/26/2020 Stephanie Hutchins confirms proposal will be approved and documentation will be sent. Full-Time distinction will be added to the program
