   Comments: As an undergrad student majoring in Economics, I do not think the suspension is the right thing to do. I'd rather expected some support from the school, and it is very unfortunate that this is happening. In order for the Emory College to thrive as one of the top research schools in Economics, grad school should be there. Remaining great professors will lose their incentives to be here at Emory, and undergrads will also be effected by the suspension.

    Comments: One of the primary reasons that led me to come to Emory was its broad spectrum of Liberal Arts education I could enjoy as an undergraduate student. I believed that being exposed to the diversity of different fields of academia would help me to find the fields of study that I can truly appreciate, and I was right. During the past two years at Emory I took various intro classes that range from African Studies to Women’s Studies, and such an academic exploration has not only broadened my perspective of the world but also helped me with finding a right major: Economics. Dean Forman in his letter stated that such a decision is necessary for “building” the department to lead it to “its greatest possible impact.” Yet I do not understand how they can truly accomplish “building” while they are demoralizing the entire faculty members and students. Removal of Economics graduate program does not only mean no more graduate students, but its entire efficiency and productivity depend on it. Numerous Academic researches and teachings are done with the assistance of graduate students. Besides such a fact, I believe that the intellectual atmosphere within the program also stimulates faculties. Thus, keeping the undergraduate education in Economics intact will also be impossible because its size and capacity will be even smaller than before. Merely “suspending” an ongoing (and excelling) program just so that you can reallocate resources to limited fields in which Emory can become “eminent” is not a way to build a department. Personally, such a decision will also impact my future plans as there will be not many research opportunities to participate and NO GRADUATE COURSES for me to take in my senior year to prepare for admissions in graduate programs in Economics. And at this moment, I am thinking of graduating a year early so that I may find better opportunities in other institutions.

    Comments: I am a junior majoring in Economics. I would like to say that one of the most academically exciting and instructive experiences for me at Emory has been getting involved in Economics professors' research. Suspension of the PhD program, whatever the intentions, will inevitably lessen support and zeal of research in the Economics Department and affect not only the existing faculty and PhD students, but also undergraduates' learning experience. Please reconsider the suspension for Emory Economics Department's sake.
