@shooter I got through? Believe me, I don't pay for the Chicago Tribune. Weird. Maybe they hate Florida.

It loads for a few seconds for me, then I get a popup saying "You have reached your free article limit" (when to my knowledge I have never visited them before, even once) and asking me to subscribe

Clear your cache maybe? That's the extent of my internet knowledge. Mostly a meme/gif guy these days.

Great article.  I'd been so focused on IU Bloomington that I didn't realize the depth of cuts across all public entities in the state.  408 degree programs have been cut, including grad and undergrad STEM degrees, not just things like Gender Studies.

Tried that, and I read a couple of paragraphs, then I again got the popup "YOU'VE REACHED YOUR ARTICLE LIMIT" and demanding a subscription.

 

It loads long enough that I might be able to copy & paste before the popup shows up.

 

I normally block popups with adblocker, but it also first demanded that I disable adblocker.

I was able to copy and paste into word, before the popup came

sad state of affairs, eliminating 116 degree programs

What's so wrong to ANYBODY with the study of (say) art history, or theater?

@shooter The cuts aren't based on the legislature's value judgment of the topic of the degree.

what are they based on, and why are the cuts so heavily skewed to humanities degrees?

@shooter # of degrees awarded in the discipline in the last few years. Legislature set a threshold and if the degree program is under it, it gets axed.  Appeals can be made and many will probably get folded into other departments.
