University Of Wisconsin-Inferior - John A. Tures, Huffington Post

The University of Wisconsin-Superior became the latest college to try out an education fad while slashing their budget. With such a high-profile notice, it’s clear their administrators were looking to get credit for starting a national trend, which might catch on in the South. Yet in the end, it’s the students who lose out when universities like this school loses sight of what their mission, while hundreds of millions of state dollars are spent on pro sports in the state. In the Chronicle of Higher Education article “Plan to Phase Out 2 Dozen Programs Stuns Faculty at Wisconsin-Superior,” by Katherine Managan, the administration announced they would suspend more than two dozen programs at their college, ranging from the arts (Theater) to the sciences (Chemistry: Forensic, Earth Science, Physics), Social Science (Political Science, Geography Sociology), and a variety of fields that would produce teachers in science, psychology, and computer science. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/university-of-wisconsin-inferior_us_59fc892fe4b01ec0dede4178
