The University of North Carolina-Wilmington has announced its plan for dealing with the 15.8% budget cut imposed on it by the state of North Carolina. Part of this is to merge the Department of Physics and Physical Oceanography with the department of Geology and Geography to form one department. This will, according to the administration result in the saving of about $80,000/year due to the reduction of one administrator and one staff position.
There is a petition seeking to reverse this decision and you are urged to visit and read what others have said and express your opinion.
We need more rather than less physics in the world. Add you voice to those who are trying to preserve this educational opportunity for the UNC-W students.
