What happened
The metals/jewelry program associated with Barry Stern (listed 1985-present in the archived record) appears to have wound down and been absorbed into / dropped from the general studio-art curriculum. By the current era the jewelry studio survives only as a shared facility in the Crafts Center, with no dedicated jewelry/metalsmithing courses, concentration, or faculty (Barry Stern is not in the current School of Visual Arts faculty list). The umbrella school was reorganized/renamed (C.W. Post became LIU Post in 2013; the unit is now the School of Visual Arts, Communications and Digital Technologies within the College of Arts, Communications and Design, unveiled c.2016). Separately, LIU has frozen/discontinued several arts degrees in recent years (Art Education, Art Therapy, etc.), part of a broader contraction of arts offerings, though those reports concern other programs rather than the metals studio specifically.
