Tat is the Teledramatic Art and Technology major at California State University Monterey Bay. In Tat's own website it states that, "teledramatics is the innovative study and practice of transmedia—or cross-media—storytelling that has emerged from the disciplines of theater, radio, film, television, and new media." Yet in an effort to reduce budget cuts Tat has cut virtually all theater and radio classes from its curriculum. It has caused an up roar with in the tat majors. "We're getting the feeling we don't matter,” says Robert Gomez in the December issue of Otter Realm,” We aren't going to accept change with out our say." Tat students recognize the importance of theater and radio with in Tat's interdisciplinary program. Radio and theater are core concepts in story telling and without them the students not only loose out on their ability and variety in telling a story but also on the education they receive from this interdisciplinary major. In another article from the April issue of the Otter Realm an anonymous student wrote, "Current students have repeatedly spoken out in support of the value of learning to produce compelling material across a range of mediums. Theater is at the heart of that vision of Tat, providing students access to the core values and skills of our story telling culture. Radio is a venue to learn valuable production skills in a positive, distribution oriented market. Both avenues of study within Tat have consistently had full classes and successful outcomes, and are often the introduction needed to draw fringe students into the greater Tat program." Theater and Radio are important concepts within the Tat major without them we fail our mission statement, the students, and our university. WE, the students, need to stand up and demand the education that we came for and the education that provides for US, not what the Dean and the Heads of Tat think we want.
