To whom it may
concern

re: Interdisciplinary
Studies

As astudent involved
in Interdisciplinary
studies | have a
number of grievances
about the way this
school is adminis-
tered in regard to the
areas in which | have
chosen to work. |
have recently discov-
ered that there is a
new program being
proposed to replace
the existing Interdis-
ciplinary Studies pro-
gram. | am excited
about the prospect of
change though | am
concerned that you
have not yet asked for
direct student input in
the formation of this
newly proposed pro-
gram. Since the
problems | have ex-
perienced with the
existing Interdiscipli-
nary Studies program
are due, primarily, to
a lack of communica-
tion between students
and Administration, |
have decided to voice
my concerns nowwith
the hope ofimproving
the conditions for
Interdisciplinary stu-
dents in this college.

| will begin by de-
scribing the disgrace-
ful procedures that
occurred during reg-
istration. According
to this year’s .calen-
dar, Interdisciplinary
students are encour-
aged explore classes

~ disciplinary depart-

ment. Exploring ar-
eas of study such as
Introductory Video
Crossover and Media
Drawing proved to be
an impossibility for
me. | was lucky
enough to have a
relatively low number
during registration
and | immediately
signed up for Video
Crossover and Media
Drawing. | was re-
jected from these
classes simply be-
cause | am an Inter-
disciplinary Student.
In the case of the
Video Crossover
class, Animation stu-
dents had priority over
me. Inthe case of the
Media Drawingclass,
both Animation and
Film/Video students
had priority over me.
| agree that it is im-
portant for the stu-
dents who were
granted my position
in these classes to

have access to the
instruction they need

to excel in their fields
of study, but | ques-
tion my exemption
from these classes
without any investi-
gation into the impor-
tance these classes
hold for me. Even
from aquick glance of
my transcripts it is
evident that Media
and Video are areas
that are essential to
my creative process.

The fact that | was
shut out of the Video
Crossover and the
Media Drawing
classes was discour-
aging. The fact that!
was also shut out of
Space and Materials
is ridiculous. Accord-
ing to the 1990/91 Full
Time Studies Calen-
dar Space and Mate-
rials is an Interdisci-
plinary course. The

letting in of students
from other faculties to
take priority over
Interdisciplinary stu-
dents in registering for
this course is unfair.
The way the over-
crowding problem is
dealt with in regards
to Interdisciplinary
courses and the way
it is dealt with in the
rest of the College is
Clearly inconsistent.
This effectively shuts
Interdisciplinary stu-

dents out of an ex-
traordinarily large

percentage of the
classes that were ad-
vertised as being
available to them,
putting their academic
standing in jeopardy.
For example, | signed
up for the maximum
twenty-four credits
this semester. When
| was exempted from
those classes | had to
settle for an eighteen
credit course load.
Although this is con-
sidered to be a full
course load, there is
no evidence that the
same scenario will not
repeat itself next se-
mester, leaving me
four credits short for
the year.

Another very press-
ing issue is the lack of
actual space in the
school for Interdisci-
plinary courses. Of-
ten the only appropri-

ate area available is
the Faculty Lounge. |

with the faculty lounge

two occasions, so far
when aclass was dis-

asked the class to

pected that the stu-
dents and the instruc-
tor would be happy
