The Department of Media Arts was formed Friday that the ad- ( nistration would recommend its aseout to the board of trustees, 1 cording to Porter McLaurin, partment chairman. The State reported Friday that the jpnea jrroiessional Sciences faculty d been told its two-year programs mid also be recommended for | aseout. % BUT USC Provost Frank Borkowski id, "I don't know why that program ledia arts) is being talked about. No cision has been made." JSC President James Holderman ;o said no decision has been made out phasing out any academic agram, including media arts and n plied Professional Sciences. a VIcLaurin said Chester Bain, dean U the College of Humanities and A cial Sciences, told him Friday that c sdia arts would be recommended s * phaseout.

Harry Varney, Applied *rofessional Sciences dean, wouldn't omment on the phaseout report, but ne faculty member called the ihaseout an open secret. The USC administration helped revent a phaseout of the college in pring 1981 when the Commission on ligher Education recommended limination.

"All areas are in discussion. If I were to refer to one program, it might cause serious morale problems," tsorKowsKi said. Holderman said he didn't know if any recommendations would be made to the board Thursday. Spme nonacademic cuts have been decided, he said, but if no decisions are made on academic areas before Thursday, "we'll probably just hold off and do everything at once. It's just a question of how fast we can put things together." SEVERAL FACTORS are considered when deciding to phase out a program, Holderman said. The number of people, especially tenured faculty involved in the program, and the amount of money it costs are determining factors, Holderman said. "We are trying to keep it (the number of people affected) to a minimum," Holderman said. The proposed media arts department DhaSeOUt affects its sav*?n faculty members, 170 undergraduate students and 41 graduate students, , McLaurin said. He said the department's budget is under $300,000. Frank Elliott, a part-time media arts faculty member, called the phaseout a 4'misinformed move.
