‘This is absolutely heartbreaking’: Miami considers eliminating majors in the humanities

Along with Latin American Studies, 16 other majors were identified as low-enrolled. These majors were given four options and a December deadline to stay at Miami.

‘This is absolutely heartbreaking’: Miami considers eliminating majors in the humanities - The Miami Student

@HuShuo
I was kind of expecting to see something about the hostile environment for teachers in general now that they put fascist gag orders on any curricula that involves civil rights or a gay person. That could have something to do with declining humanities student enrollment numbers.

If I have a choice, and I'm assuming humanities students mostly do, I would study in a state that lets me learn.

@HuShuo But they won't eliminate football and basketball.
@HuShuo as a humanities graduate from the UK I find this incredibly sad, but given what Florida has now become, why would anyone feel safe studying ‘social justice and women's, gender and sexuality studies’ in the state?
@HuShuo Rest assured, in elite ivy leagues, all those humanities classes will remain. Because they're central to leadership skills used by the top .1%.
