Humboldt State University’s Nursing program will not be eliminated as had been recommended by the Academic Senate in the face of dramatic budget cuts. Instead, HSU President Rollin Richmond announced this morning that he will enact recommendations from Provost Robert Snyder to restructure Nursing — in part by reducing admissions from 60 to 40 students per semester — and suspend enrollment in both the Computer Information Systems and Computer Science departments. Also, the Theater, Film and Dance department will undergo review.
These moves, along with the earlier elimination of the Industrial Technology program, will generate approximately $600,000 of the $1.3 million in savings that had been the goal of program elimination, but Richmond said additional savings may be achieved by streamlining and restructuring Nursing and Theater, Film and Dance.
“It should come as no surprise that the decision about the Nursing program was the most vexing,” Richmond said in a statement. “Nursing is one of the most expensive programs we have — both per-student and overall — but California also has a pressing need for new nurses.”

smart move!
As a former CIS student, I think this was the correct move.
The CIS and CS departments didn’t listen when their customers complained year after year.
It’s a shame that there is only so much a small group of hard working professors can do when you are selling a product people don’t want to buy.
Information Technology programs are booming all over the country because of cutting edge distance learning programs, when is Humboldt State going to pick up the ball?
On the bright side it makes my degree a collectors item.
I think its about time we disregarded programs that have no real world or commercial applications like the CIS/CS departments. We need to focus on theater and liberal studies if we want to succeed in the coming economic climate. Computers have no place in the global marketplace and are going the way of Beta Max and 8 track. Stop studying a dying technology and embrace change. HSU is just so far ahead of the pack, they are almost behind it.
Where are we going to have the monthly support group for CIS/CS graduates?
Hope my tabs are conserved.

else

Whatever. What about all that equipment that got donated to that computer lab at HSU, is that shit gone be up for auction? Heard there are layer 4-7 switches up in that bitch. When is the auction, y’all know?
Maybe in retaliation, onna y’all professors reading this can shut off the security system… I’ll prolly be in town on May 5th if you want to plan to do it then. I’ll leave a stack of ducats or dosia or whatever you want for serious. Shit is appreciated in advance, thanks.
Can’t put tabs in HTML.
Psssht, the fuck kinna bullshit they teach there? No wonder shit got axed.
Fine is this better?
Don’t HSU got other shit they can cut like not constructing giant ass buildings and bronze plaques and gold Rollin Richmond statues and shit? I’d throw a deuce twenty on that big ass penny-looking shit if it was auctioned up with the switches and somma that confiscated dorm room grow light and a stack of lost disc golf equipment. Do they still got all that firewood from chopping all those trees to put in all that 18th Century, fort-looking bullshit? I’d snap that shit from the HSU liquidation sale.
The following comments make no sense at all. Computers are not actually a booming technology used everywhere from arts to economics to engineering to products you use everyday like cell phones. A simple internet search will show you the job opportunities of CS/CIS constantly rank at the top of job market. It’s unwise to eliminate CS/CIS programs. It shows that HSU does not value the technology in education.

It’s true, computers, as we know them now, are becoming obsolete. Who in the hell wants a massive, power-sucking, non-portable machine taking up half their workspace and requiring you to be leashed to an office? Smart phones will soon become obsolete as well. The only tech science worth teaching is nanotechnology. “Computers” and the “Internet” will not exist in 10 years.
We already have tiny chips that can sense our brain activity and understand what you are thinking, therefore eliminating the need for computers. In the near future, computers and the Internet will simply be a reality/virtual reality hybrid. Cyborgs are a reality and we now have the ability to interpret brain signals into actual, useable commands for things like robotic limbs or Stephen Hawking-like speech devices. Nanobots will soon cure cancer and nanosurgery can already help reattach limbs and attach lab-grown replacement body parts.
Nurses will be needed to work with patients who have these procedures done. Some tech nerd who is fluent in HTML will be working at Taco Bell, since the new “Internet” language will simply be programs that translate our unique brain impulses into simple commands, much like a Blu-Ray player interprets a remote control’s signals. In other words, techie nerds with CIS and CS jobs will basically be low-level laborers, with no real status and a permanent place at the bottom of the pay scale.
