I have a degree in Geography, which got cut.
I hate this move, in general.
Some of these programs will get rolled into other departments. I assume statistics, for example, could get rolled into mathematics. Classics into History. Maybe roll all the languages into one program?
Although I've never understood the academic justification for discipline in a language. I understand that you learn much more than the language, but I don't understand how that justifies a separate area of academic inquiry.
I think one of the largest consequences here is going to be pruning the faculty of some of the more fringe areas if they can't get rolled into a bigger dept easily.

French postmodernist Michel Foucault topped Enlightenment thinkers Immanuel Kant and John Locke. Novelist Toni Morrison’s name was more prevalent than those of Aristotle, political economist John Stuart Mill, Fredrick Douglass and Niccolo Machiavelli.

My stoker’s degree is in English Language Arts. A blend of literature, writing, drama, speech, etc. With her teaching credential she taught all of that and more.
What is this supposed to prove?
It proves that academia’s contempt and derision of the pillars of Western Civilization is real.
That modern American academia has become too post modern, too woke, and too stupid.https://nypost.com/2025/09/02/us-news/nycs-new-school-students-learning-how-to-steal/
