The University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point has proposed dropping 13 majors in the humanities and social sciences — including English, philosophy, history, sociology and Spanish — while adding programs with “clear career pathways” as a way to address declining enrollment and a multimillion-dollar deficit.
Здравый смысл в университете, поразительно по нынешним временам. Интересно, нет ли тут какой причинно-следственной связи с тем геноцидом, который тамошний губернатор Уокер устроил пару лет назад университетской публике.

these are not бесполезное образование. however there is plenty of english, anthropology, political science, women's studies, even european languages etc - that are basically useless in the sense that the graduates with an A.B. or B.A> or even B.S. are unemployable, since they have not acquired marketable skills.
i find it unwise to blame the university. the unis are commercial enterprises. they are not forcing anybody into their Theater major and Sociology minor. studnets are responsible for their choices - including bad ones, those who will land tehm in the market place without anything to claim other than ooo, i went to Yale.

Ага, но людям тяжело воспринимать этот тезис. Им кажется, ну можно же по-преподавать что-то "полезное" вместо точно бесполезного...
