[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]32 majors are under review. They won’t all get cut.

As another post stated, some will be merged, some will remain the same but with less faculty, some will remain the same and be re-evaluated in the future, and some will be cut.

Many other universities have been doing the same for budget reasons and due to less interest in some majors. It is what it is, they need to keep up with the times. I think it’s a good thing, WV is a poor state. Students should not be going into debt majoring in areas that will not make them enough to pay back.

Yeah, poor kids don't deserve a rich array of classes, that's true. Limit them, because they don't need any of that fancy stuff.[/quote]

I am from WV and went to a non-flagship state college.

I think they do a huge disservice pushing History and Lit majors, and I am both.  I was valedictorian of my college and it worked out for me.  But for most of my colleagues, it didn’t.

One works at the Greenbriar, so that is OK.  A few others went to grad school and do well.  A few are dead of opioid ODs. The others work in the same mines, factories, or Walmarts they would have anyway.

It’s not wrong to limit the availability of posh majors for non-posh people.[/quote]
