UPDATE: Journo Majors Gone With the Wind at U. Colo.

Image via WikipediaUniversity of Colorado Regents voted 5-4 this week to shut the university's journalism school, the first college to suffer such a fate in the University's history.

College President Bruce Benson backed the move to turn off the lights at the School of Journalism and Mass Communication June 30 (see "TUOL" posts 2/22/11, 8/26/10). Henceforth, students may pursue a double major in journalism and another subject or receive a certificate or minor in journalism, but no longer will be able to receive a bachelor's degree in journalism alone, reports the Boulder Daily Camera.
