The Approval of the Self-Sustaining MBA Seems to be Unsustainable

The Daily Bruin is reporting in an article dated 8/31/12 that the on-again-off-again move towards a “self sufficient” MBA program is off again:

A UC Academic Senate committee voted to suspend their review of the Anderson School of Management’s proposal to become financially self-supporting, according to a memo sent to the school today.  …The proposal passed the UCLA Legislative Assembly in June. To take effect, it needed to go through the UC Coordinating Committee on Graduate Affairs and the UC Office of the President. The graduate affairs committee voted 10-0-1 to halt the review.  Members of the committee decided to halt the review in part because the Anderson School does not meet the requirements to be a self-supporting program at the UC, according to the memo.  …The proposal will not be reviewed further until a new policy on self-supporting programs is put into place or the original policy is modified, the memo stated.
