Are you still at Murdoch?

I note that the message, as shown above, came from a gmail, rather than 
a Murdoch address, which seems weird, for a position at Murdoch, unless 
you are now a private consultancy, supplying technical staff by contract 
to Murdoch.

Murdoch once had a degree in Internet Programming. Has that degree now 
been eliminated? I would have thought that a student/graduate of that 
course (if it still exists) should be appropriate for the position.
