Podcast Release, Episode 4 — The Program That Was Doing Too Well

September 29 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Why would a successful university program be recommended for closure? Episode 4 of this five-part series in the podcast Buddhist Studies Footnotes reconstructs the administrative history behind the suspension of BPMH enrolment, revealing a striking contrast between a glowing external review, growing student demand, and a subsequent recommendation to discontinue the program. Through archival recordings, committee documents, and emotional testimony from students and faculty, the episode examines questions of governance, precarity, and institutional responsibility. It argues that the controversy surrounding BPMH was not simply about one interdisciplinary program, but about how universities value innovation, support faculty, and respond when educational success no longer fits existing administrative structures.
