For a school that strives to teach students solid management practices, departmental officials may want to sit in on some of their own lectures.After working toward admittance into School of Management's minor program, students were shut out following an abrupt executive decision to dissolve this degree option.The reasoning behind the lockout was that class sizes in the school were too large and management majors had difficulty registering for required courses.While a solution to the overcrowding of classes was very necessary, the way in which it was handled was in terribly poor taste - reminiscent of the unexpected closing of the School of Informatics.Students pursuing minors often need to meet a set of prerequisites before admittance, and those who put forth the effort to meet the requirements to enter into this popular program have been stripped of their academic rights.Many students invested a great deal of time, effort and money to earn entry into the minor program, and without so much as an e-mail - or any forewarning for that matter - the School of Management pulled the rug right out from under them.Ending a program such as the minor in management is an action that could set a devastating precedent, leading to the unanticipated lockout of other programs.
