This just in from KALAMAZOO (NEWS 3)


Western Michigan University's board of trustees voted Friday to eliminate 11 graduate programs, although a dozen programs that were on the cutting block were spared.

Trustees voted to maintain four doctoral programs: Applied Economics, Clinical Psychology, Spanish, and Computer Science.

Others were maintained, but with conditions to improve, including a PhD in statistics and several masters degree programs.

Eleven graduate programs are soon to be history: two doctoral, one specialist program, and eight masters programs, but they won't close the classrooms just yet.

"Students will be allowed and, in fact, encouraged to complete the original course of their degree without any change so that whatever they were coming in with the expectation of, that is what will be delivered," assured Prof. John Jellies, Graduate Program. Review Appeals Chair.

The target date for closing the 11 programs depends on when the last student in each graduates. For some, that's this fall. For others it could be as far off as 2013.
