The same concerns apply to my own specialty of Art Conservation at Queen's.

The Fine Arts program adds to the culture and tradition of the school and by cancelling it not only goes to discourage students from wanting to go to Queen's but also sends a horrible message that Queen's is getting weaker, not growing. For all the students, PLEASE do not cancel the Fine Arts program.

Since when has lack of funding ever stopped the Queen's Fine Arts Program? This turn of events comes as a shock to me, but it is a sign of the times I suppose.

I cannot possibly support the suspended admissions of this program...the programs of my mentors, friends and fellow peers. If this would have been another program, I don't think this discussion would even ever come to fruition. We need people connected to the arts to continue to inspire to make change in our world and fill us with compassion for our fellow human being.

If the only relevant criteria were 'resources', universities might as well be turned into 'for profit' sales enterprises, with paying customers.

Elimination of the BAH on short-term financial grounds would nullify all the effort put into academic planning to date.

As a faculty member in the School of Kinesiology and Health Studies, I am ashamed and embarrassed by this decision. It is an extremely worrisome sign that Queen's no longer knows the purpose of a university education.

No one in the QU community, especially those directly effected, should learn about a program "suspension" in the Globe & Mail.
The university administration has a responsibility to be honest with employees and students. Proper democratic procedures, transparent and known, should be used when making decisions about the future of academic programs and units. Proper procedures are even more important when the university faces financial constraints.
