Trustees of Indiana University at Bloomington will vote next month on a proposed plan to merge the School of Journalism with the Departments of Telecommunications and Communication and Culture, according to the Indiana Daily Student ("IDS").

The 34-page proposal for The Media School released today by Provost Lauren Robel was submitted last December by a committee made up of faculty from the three entities.  The IDS article said the report, not surprisingly, suggests a digital emphasis in the new curriculum. The proposal's timeline indicates the merger would be completed in 2016.
