On July 7, 1965, Dean Baber notified President Shannon that the nursing faculty supported her recommendation to close the Diploma program, enrolling the final class of students in September 1965. Baber provided several reasons for the decision, including growing enrollment in the BSN and RN-BSN programs, the difficulties of maintaining both a Diploma and BSN program, and the growing costs of operating the Diploma program. On July 13, 1965, President Shannon approved the recommendation to close the Diploma program.
