My post is not directly related to layoffs...just hoping can let me know if my campus campus Director and President are lying to me.
My campus has enrolled students from a medical program into a course that was taught only to students of another program. The courses are very similar in content. They did this, I suppose, because the classes are very similar and heck...my have to teach two separate classes when you can just slam everyone into the same course. That's one less class needed for a teacher. No change has been made in the catalog nor have any addendum's to the catalog are made. The medical student's outline of courses they are shown at admission still shows the class that has been eliminated. When it comes time for the subject to be taught they are simply lumped into the other class.
I have asked if this was OK and told that it was no problem, its been done at other campuses, all they need as to have some big wig in academics (boggs as his name I think) sign off and it was all good. I am not sure what to believe. I don't like it because the two student groups are very different and should be taught as separate groups.
Anybody know if this is commonly done and OK? I thought the catalog was like the bible and had to be followed to the letter.
