Cuts to liberal arts programs betray mission of universities - Rachel Kunzi, DU Clarion

Too many professors, not enough students and not enough money. All these factors combined don’t exactly make for a successful place of learning, a fact the administrative staff of University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point were well aware of when they cut multiple liberal arts majors from their curriculum and let go of numerous professors in order to keep the institution afloat this past March. Due to lack of state financial support and spiking increase in enrollment in urban universities, the school has decided to relocate its resources, thus cutting less popular majors, such as history, philosophy and political science and strengthening or creating ones with higher demand, including environmental engineering and a new captive wildlife major. https://duclarion.com/2019/01/cuts-to-liberal-arts-programs-betray-mission-of-universities/
