In a recent article for Nunatsiaq News, Managing Editor Corey Larocque argues against the future Inuit Nunangat University’s proposed faculty names. Larocque asserts that moving away from traditional faculty names to “unconventional” names, such as the faculty of surroundings and relationality for a faculty that teaches health-related professions, will make it harder for graduates to have their degrees “taken seriously” by employers. Additionally, the author notes that employers may pass over applicants whose resumes include information they do not understand. “It’s hard enough for graduates to break into the work world after they graduate,” writes Larocque. “Don’t give them a diploma that will prompt employers to say, what’s that?”
