Fall schedule update (quote from Dr. Swartz email)

first the good news.  martha returned from sick leave and spent the entire day
correcting bronco direct. all of you with registration dates over the past
three days now can fix your schedules while all classes remain open.

now even better news. today provost den boer approved our department for a new
faculty search. we will in fact hire another full time professor for fall, and
that in turn will open up some new classes for you. of course as soon as we
get that new person appointed i will share the news with all of you.

i really appreciate your patience and good cheer through all of these cuts and
other trauma. please know that your home department continues to work hard to
deliver you an improved product, and we trust next year will be even better.

Fall schedule (quote from Dr. Swatz Email)

Dear Marketing and International Business students,

None of you really want to hear any more bad news about the budget cuts but I suppose it’s better to face reality than pretend all is well.

This quarter we will lose seven professors who might have returned fall quarter and we have been given not one single replacement. If you do the math that means we will be forced to cut our fall offerings so drastically that it could well be that some of you cannot get a seat in a single class in your major. But we cannot just offer classes without teachers so following is what our actual fall laydown is likely to look like as soon as Martha returns from sick leave:

Whitson…301 TR 10; 411 TR 1.

Roxas…414 TR 8 and TR 3, 411 TR 10.

Emilio….301 MW 4, 308 MWF 1, 299 TBA.

Jung….301 MWF 9:15, 517 6.

Hossain…301 TR 1, 633 6.

Assumma….435 MWF 11:45, 306 MW 2 and MW 6.

Bryant….200 M at 6 and W at 6, 307 MW 2, 327 MW 4.

Hu….320 TR 8 and TR 10, 416 TR 1.

Liu….421 MWF 8 and MWF 10:30, 408 MW 2.

Myers….403 TR 1, 307 TR 3, 320 TR 6.

Wallace 480 TR 3, 436 TR 6, 300 TR 8 pm.

Swartz….400 ARR, 441 ARR, 442 ARR, 492 TR 10.

Staff????...408 TR 10 and TR 1, 652 6.

(The “staff” line will appear in BD but we cannot guarantee these sections will be filled.)

For those of you who already registered with priorities kindly log back onto BD soonest with this corrected schedule so you still can get a full slate of classes.

My sincerest apologies for this beyond minimal schedule. I do trust you understand I cannot offer a full lineup with half of a fully staffed department.

Kindest Regards,

j
