U.N.L.V. Eliminates Meetings and Events Program

The meetings and events major at U.N.L.V. is being discontinued due to budget cuts in the state of Nevada.

"Even though the M&E major has almost 300 students and is the fastest-growing major in the whole university, it is collateral damage in the move to tighten up and focus on the core mission of the college—to teach hotel management," wrote Patti Shock, Harrah College of Hotel Administration professor and director of distance learning, in an email on Monday.

Some of the meetings courses will remain and be used as electives in the hotel degree, Shock explained.

Also going away are the gaming and culinary majors, along with the entertainment minor and the recreation and leisure degree.
