[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] A dozen majors recommended to be axed are undergraduate-level, while 20 are graduate-level majors. The university said the proposed cuts would represent a total of 434 students, or 2% of its total enrollment. There are 169 potential reductions in faculty, or 7% of the total in Morgantown, WVU said in a news release.[/quote] This part says it all. 169 faculty members to support the majors of just 434 students. These were not popular majors, but you have overhead to run a department, thus leading to a crazy It's a wise place to cut. 1:2.5 faculty-student ratio, compared to 1:18 WVU-wide. [/quote] But faculty reductions could happen vs wholesale program elimination. A real lesson in academic provincialism. Gut the humanities, no foreign language study? Absurd.[/quote]
