SFSU Art Department administrators have announced their intention to shut down the SFSU College of Extended Learning’s glass program.
This is the third-oldest glass program in the nation. It has provided an unmatched learning opportunity for hundreds of SFSU students since 1972. Cutting it would be a horrible loss to students and to the community that believes learning comes in all forms.

Here's what the Art Department said.

Dear Nate,
Thanks for your email. I'm sorry I didn't make it clear in my previous email why the CEL glass course is being discontinued.
My previous email was the official word to you as the lecturer teaching the course that it will not be offered after Fall 2013. The college dean addresses the course cancellation with Robert Martin in CEL.
The Glass class is being discontinued for the following reasons, which I discussed with you in part in our meeting August 1:
I am acting on behalf of the faculty, the college and the university to complete an action initiated 11 years ago
I respect you, your skills and resourcefulness, and your dedication and service to the glass community.
As you may know I am currently on leave. If you have any further comments, questions or concerns, please direct them to Paul Mullins who is Interim Chair for Fall 2013.
I wish you all the best.
Gail
