UW-Stevens Point Eliminating 6 Majors In Humanities To Address Budget Shortfall - Rich Kremer, Wisconsin Public Radio

The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point is eliminating six degree programs in the humanities to address budget deficits and increasing drops in enrollment. The changes are aimed at creating a new regional university model that is more career focused, according to the university. The university originally proposed cutting 13 degree programs, which led to student protests on campus and a sit in at the UW System Board of Regents office in Madison. The six majors that will be cut include: French, German, geography, geology, history, and two- and three-dimensional art, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. https://www.wpr.org/uw-stevens-point-eliminating-6-majors-humanities-address-budget-shortfall
