1. Many humanities courses and programs have been cut

Or offerings are being reduced. It's been a trend for a while. When courses aren't available it's hard to major in it.

A professor friend who used to teach introduction to philosophy lost enrollment in classes, when their humanities requirement was reduced from 12 credits to 6 a number of years ago. Then they cut the program due to reduced enrollment.

I earned a BS but minored in Humanities, with an emphasis in English, French and Art. I love humanities and feel they are needed for a well rounded education.
