By A Correspondent-Government has lifted the suspension on the Midlands State University’s Media and Society Studies degree.

In a notice to all Media studies students this week, MSU deputy registrar for academic affairs a Mr K Mudzingwa, said the suspended program now starts on May 17, 2021, and had been moved to the ghost town of Zvishavane.

In November last the Zimbabwe Council for Higher Education (ZIMCHE) suspended the MSU’s Media and Society Degree program citing what it called lack of innovative skills in its curriculum.

ZIMCHE, did this without consulting the MSU Media and Society Studies Department, forcing academics to believe that it was a political move aimed at returning the program to the University of Zimbabwe, even though the learning institution (UZ) does not have qualified personnel to teach the program.
