The Academic Senate has officially approved the change to Cinema and Television Arts. Your collective support ensured that the department name now accurately reflects the modern curriculum. I look forward to seeing the new title represented on the diplomas of our graduating students.

This is a petition regarding California State University Fullerton's Radio-TV-Film Department.
The Academic Senate at Cal State Fullerton is reviewing a department name change for the Radio-TV-Film Department. This petition is in support of the approval of the name change to "Cinema & Television Arts" and for current Spring 2015 graduate's diplomas to be printed with the new department title instead of "Radio-TV-Film".
*From California State University Fullerton's official Site*
RADIO-TV-FILM DEPARTMENT
This program offers a comprehensive curriculum and active learning environment to prepare students for meaningful careers in film and telecommunication -- broadcast, cable, satellite, wireless, digital, and interactive media.
Curriculum
A variety of courses in critical studies, production, and writing examine many aspects of the electronic media and cinema. Download the RTVF Student Learning Outcomes one-sheet.
Goals
A student who earns the Bachelor of Arts degree in Radio-TV-Film:
knows the foundational history of the film and electronic media industry and how that history shapes the industry's present and future;
Article from The Daily Titan
Since April 6, the Academic Senate has been reviewing the proposal, Academic Senate Chair Sean Walker said.
"If there is opposition to the proposal, the committee will have an open hearing for public discussion," Walker wrote in an e-mail. "Once this happens, the University Curriculum
Committee will make a recommendation to the chair of the Academic Senate who will then agendize it for the Senate to look at."
If the request meets opposition but is approved by the senate, the ultimate decision will be made by the University President Mildred García, according to the name-change policy.
Along with the name change proposal, the Radio-TV-Film department has also requested to change bachelor's degrees to bachelor's in cinema and television art.

The momentum generated by this petition demonstrates a clear consensus for modernizing our department title. We are effectively illustrating to the administration that our academic identity should accurately reflect our professional field.

Their is a specificity in this name change that seems to ring! It doesn't come off as generic as "RTVF" does. Nobody should ever have to describe their skill-set (to a possible employer) using an acronym...
Yes. I think the name change is a great idea more in sync with similar programs at other universities.
I am a 2nd year student in the department and feel strongly that this name change would reflect the skills I am learning and make me more marketable to future employers.
Please adjust the major according to what it truly represents. I am a 2005 RTVF graduate and despise the label as most people assume my emphasis was radio. I, in fact was one of the key members of rebranding Titan Internet Radio and took pride in being not only an on-air talent but also the station's technical manager. However, that was completely extra-curricular. My major was entirely Film and Television based and feel like my opportunities since graduation have been limited in some ways due to the title.
I am in support of the Radio-TV-Film Department's name change to "Cinema & Television Arts".
Cinema and Television Arts it shall be!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes please!

RTVF sounds so dated. Cinema & Television Arts actually sounds like a real degree program and helps us get taken seriously when we apply for jobs.
