[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AOs balance talents, not majors. [/quote] Not always. AO’s look for kids that meet institutional goals. That could mean filling seats for certain majors. [/quote] I don't see any reason they'd need to "fill seats" for majors. What then need to do is avoid overflowing seats for popular majors/courses[/quote] One of those links above talked about how hard it is to fire tenured faculty and they need to make sure those tenured humanities faculty have full classes. You can’t have a 300 level gender studies class with three people. But you can make it more interdisciplinary, so kids from other humanities majors (English, History, Anthro) may want to take it. Hence the proliferation of all of these Taylor Swift classes at T20.[/quote]
