Too much time at the Dixie Chicken?

This is the saga of the Journalism Department at Texas A&M University, with an odd twist. It involves a department with over 1,000 majors that ended up in trouble. Please read the newpaper and magazine articles and read this link (http://vision2020.tamu.edu/the-twelve-imperatives). When you've read all the materials, listen to Robert Earl Keen's "Fighting Texas Aggie" for more information about the kind of student who might have discovered a home in the Journalism Department, after majoring in Engineering, Business, Economics, Political Science, Philosophy, English, P.E., and General Studies.
