Calvin College recommends cutting programs in humanities, languages and arts - Brian McVicar, mLive

Citing declining student interest, Calvin College administrators are recommending the elimination of programs in theater, art history and the languages of German, Greek and Latin. The architecture minor is also recommended for elimination. Academic minors in the other programs will remain in place. The proposed program cuts are part of the Christian college's efforts to improve its financial standing after long-term debt grew to $115 million in 2012, a level administrators said was unsustainable. http://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2015/09/calvin_college_recommends_elim.html
