Class Year

The year of graduation is important for purposes of historical reference and context. The vast majority of entries herein do not reflect the class year of the graduate. Documentation of such would greatly improve the article. MuJami (talk) 04:54, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Media, Journalism and Film

The Deparment of Media, Journalism and Film, currently chaired by Professor Judi Moore Latta, is a combined department so the "Journalism" and "Film and television" should be together. In fact, while certain aspects of the "Athletics" subsection could be considered "Entertainment" (section), I don't consider that "Literature" should be listed under the Entertainment section.
