[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Liberal arts is in theory a fantastic intellectual foundation for life and a career, but in practice its been wrecked by wokeness.  Everyone recognizes this and is staying away.

If we can reform the liberal arts, it will flourish again.  [/quote]
It did not die out due to wokeness.  Liberal arts degrees have been declining for many years in part due to the growth in the tech sector, and more students majoring in business.[/quote]

And why are people so interested in majoring in "business" which typically not a rigorous degree where you learn boring things that were just picked up on the job by intelligent, well-rounded people years ago without the need for any courses?  Perhaps its all the stories they hear about people signing for literature courses and having to listen to political drivel rather than actually learn to appreciate literature.  [/quote]

Kids major in business because it's practical and interesting.  Also, most don't just "major in business".  They choose accounting or finance or entrepreneurship, which is much more rigorous than say "General Business" or "marketing".  That's where lots of Premed/Engineering kids head when they switch majors

This.  They have the aptitude for it.[/quote]
