[b]Nobody pays a shit ton to attend WVU. Hopefully they'll still offer the classes outside of a major because a flagship not even offering languages would make them a joke.

They said they would look into an app to provide language instruction. It’s not lile they had separate departments for Chinese and German— they had a world language department which hosted all the foreign language professors and now they are letting them all go.

It is a joke — a sick joke. It will accelerate the death spiral of the school not reverse it but the consultants will get their money and the modern know nothings will be happy no one is getting educated [/quote]

No one becomes fluent learning a language from an app. I do use programs like Rosetta Stone and DuoLingo, but it's NOT the same thing as being in a class and being forced into conversation and having a real person answer your questions and explain things to you.[/quote]
