SIUC College of Mass Communications and Media Arts thins its budget - Cory Ray, Daily Egyptian

Budget cuts in College of Mass Communications and Media Arts are stretching the college further than its gone before. The college experienced an $88,000 budget cut from the university — 1.6 percent of its overall budget. The cuts come from a collection of sources that include not filling vacant staff positions for the year, not purchasing new equipment at the same rate and reducing on the spending of supplies, according to Dafna Lemish, dean of the College of Mass Communications and Media Arts. So far, MCMA has terminated one non-tenured track instructor in the School of Journalism. MCMA has two vacant instructor positions: one tenured track position in the School of Journalism teaching advertising and one non-tenured track position in Department of Radio and Television in broadcast news. http://www.dailyegyptian.com/news/campus/article_9851de36-80b7-11e5-b1a3-5727d52e29fd.html
