A link to a list of all of them is included in the article.  Fortunately, it looks like Gender Studies and African American Studies are on the chopping block.

Doesn't IUB still have the individualized major program? As long as you're willing to put in the planning, you can get a degree in whatever the hell you want.

This will make a difference in who they hire and who they give tenure to in the future.

@bradstevens How the hell do you have two stars before me? What am I doing wrong? I can already tell these stars are the new reaction score, and I don't want to fall behind.

Surprised to see Cognitive Science on the list.  Classics is unsurprising if predictable. Hopefully they gets folded into the History Dept.

I wish I had gotten my degree in Classics.

My worthless BS degree in Rec Sports Management went bye bye a long time ago!

About time.  We shouldn't be subsidizing worthless degrees.

I agree with some of them.  

What was your major, dbm?  By the way, what is dbm for?

@bradstevens Had a long discussion with my friend who retired from IU VP position 5 years ago. He’s conservative and had some really interesting things to say about President Whitten, and Quinn too, for the record. I’ll go into more detail later.

I meant unfortunate, not unsurprising.  Classics is a real academic discipline. 

This could be a route towards making Indiana state colleges more affordable, by streamlining schools and making them more efficient. Let's hope so.
