“It’s hard to imagine any university, anywhere in the world, not teaching world languages, let alone the state flagship, land-grant, R1 university in a state like West Virginia,” said Lisa Di Bartolomeo, a teaching professor of Russian studies at West Virginia, noting that the state has faced a brain drain for generations and has low “intercultural competencies.”

Why would anyone take Russian studies at WVU?  [/quote]

Because they are in-state at WVU and that's their flagship?  There's a lot of military kids who might be particularly interested.[/quote]

Apparently not. People get upset at cuts like this bc it's just what they are used to and what they know and they can't imagine things changing.  Look at Marymount. They are cutting majors that are under subscribed and they have had one of their largest incoming classes this fall that they have had in years. [/quote]
