Looking at their catalog here's what we can eliminate and improve the university:

Afro-American Studies
Asian Studies
Classical studies
Ethnic studies
German
Human services
Italian Studies
Latin American studies
Sociology
Woman Studies.

They look to have a pretty core university. They also service the hospitality and gaming industries which I left alone.

I would recommend that they go back to 120 units and 132 units for science(labs) to graduate. That will cut some more nonsense out of the university.

Back to the basics folks. Educate for jobs that society needs not fluff

The only thing I disagree with you on this is the number of credit hours needed to graduate.

I hate to admit it, but the only thing I learned in college, was how to read the Op-Ed page in a newspaper.

Took about two classes of Poli-Sci for the professor to teach me that.

Why offer the classes you listed, when students can’t even read or write.

Add to your list:

Remedial Math
Remedial English
Remedial History
Remedial Science

These should have been taught/learned in High School
