Flagship public universities likely to cut more humanities, staff —
especially in rural states

Missouri Western State University has eliminated dozens of majors and
minors including English, history, philosophy, political science,
economics, sociology, art, Spanish and French. Eastern Kentucky University
shut theater programs and economics. The State University of New York at
Potsdam is also cutting degree programs, including in art history, dance,
French, Spanish and theater.

More cuts could be coming. The Kansas Board of Regents announced in June it
is reviewing proposals to eliminate programs at the six state universities.
The review is meant “to ensure that programs meet student demand, improve
student affordability, support Kansas communities and help meet the state’s
workforce needs.” A decision is expected in 2024 on which programs to cut
or consolidate, said Matt Keith, spokesperson for the Kansas Board of
Regents.
