[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you think of this?

Will this prediction come to pass: "He predicted that many universities will “cut their losses” by closing programs in the fine arts, humanities, social sciences and ethnic and sexual studies."

Hmmm. This is a questionable source, but here's the quote:

“This doesn’t mean that colleges should cease to offer instruction in areas for which there is low demand for degree holders,” said Peter Wood, president of the conservative National Association of Scholars and a former associate provost at Boston University. “It just means that the resources of the federal government should be spent supporting students who are preparing for the work that the nation needs.”

He predicted that many universities will “cut their losses” by closing programs in the fine arts, humanities, social sciences and ethnic and sexual studies.

So if you want to be an art major, English or creative writing major or Women's studies or Middle Eastern Studies major, you have to be Full Pay. No Pell or federal loans?[/quote]
