[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Majoring in Russian or Political Science in the middle of nowhere for $100k a year is less appealing to GenZ and their families than it used to be. Also skiing in Vermont had declined in quality due to rising temps. Kids who really love to ski now go to school in Colorado. [/quote] As someone who legitimately studied Russian at Middlebury many years ago, this was kind of my first thought. If the school's strength is in teaching foreign languages and that's one of those areas where AI can now do all the translating, etc. then it doesn't make economic sense to spend four years learning this skill -- and I am saying this with great sadness as someone who loves Russian poetry and literature, etc. If I were a professor of a foreign language, I'm be concerned that my job would soon be going away. [/quote] The professors are fine, but the grad students should be horrified [/quote]
