First it was the University of Wisconsin-Superior, now it is the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
UW-Stevens Point is expanding its programs in Chemical Engineering, Computer Information Systems, Conservation Law Enforcement, Finance, Fire Science, Graphic Design, Management, Aquaculture, Captive Wildlife, Ecosystem Design, Environmental Engineering, Geographic Information Science, Business Administration, Natural Resources, and Physical Therapy
They are discontinuing their programs in American Studies, Art, English, French, Geography, Geoscience, German, History, Music Literature, Philosophy, Political Science, Sociology, and Spanish.
Read all about it here.
Let’s just call UW-Stevens Point a professional school. It is no longer a university or a college.
I concur with philosopher James K.A. Smith’s Twitter warning:
You’re going to start seeing decisions like this at Christian colleges & universities in the near future. Note code: “clear pathways” to careers. https://t.co/dLM6nljprX

Thanks for passing this along Catherine

My son is a student at UWSP and is participating in this demonstration. The university also proposed something similar three or four years ago when my daughter was a student there. The students were up in arms at that time as well and the university system backed down at that time. We’ll see what they do this time.
