UW-Stevens Point protesters occupy administration building to fight elimination of majors - Alan Hovorka, Stevens Point Journal

Hundreds of demonstrators occupied the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point’s administration building on Wednesday, the first protest of its kind on the campus since the Vietnam War era. Protesters criticized the proposed elimination of more than a dozen liberal arts majors, and demanded the university create a task force to deliver a counter-proposal. The Save Our Majors demonstration of about 300 students, faculty, staff and community members happened as opposition intensifies against a proposal to cut 13 majors in the humanities and social sciences in favor of more technical degrees. https://www.stevenspointjournal.com/story/news/education/2018/03/21/uw-stevens-point-students-community-protest-plan-eliminate-majors/445249002/
