UW-Stevens Point Will Consider Plan To Spare 13 Humanities Majors From Elimination - Rich Kremer, Wisconsin Public Radio

University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point officials say they'll consider a plan pushed by students to spare 13 humanities majors in the latest round of budget cuts. On March 5, UW-Stevens Point administration announced it was considering cutting 13 majors in liberal arts fields like English and history in response to a projected $4.5 million structural deficit. Students responded on March 21, with a protest and sit-in in which they asked the school's chancellor and other administration officials to come up with a budget plan that spares the humanities majors. UW-Stevens Point Provost Greg Summers said a committee of the university's common council has agreed to come up with a budget reduction approach in line with the students' request. https://www.wpr.org/uw-stevens-point-will-consider-plan-spare-13-humanities-majors-elimination
