Regarding your fm-l post about the “great” programs of the Center for Communication, Inc. Copy of your post is below. But first, history and context.
Shouldn’t students be informed about the demise of the innovative relationship between the department and the Center for Communication, Inc. when it scheduled numerous panels and events on the Hunter campus, mostly but not exclusively, in the Lang Auditorium, for the benefit of students – and not just those D:F/M majors – so that they didn’t have to trek so much around the city to Center events? For a department with no imagination and no funding for programming for students, the Center relationship was a blessing.
The Chair knows the history. Maybe he might share.
Best,
G Morris
Brief History (It might provide students with insight about the department): The Center for Communication was a great source and support apparatus for students at Hunter College, especially its Department of Film and Media Studies. However, the relationship fell victim to D:F/M’s #TheSleazeThatGreasesTheWheels. That ignominy hasn’t stopped D:F/M from posting about the Center as if it is providing valuable information about an organization that use to schedule special programming for the Hunter campus. I consider your post a signature statement about how things work in D:F/M.
Notice: None of the events are scheduled for this campus. It’s been like that for many, many years. #SleazeThatGreasestheWheels.
