Here is a list of the majors they offered. Just reading through them is a good indication that Green Mountain College wasn't long for this world:

Adventure Education
Animal Conservation & Care
Applied Environmental Science
Art
Biology
Business (Sustainable Business)
Communication Studies
Education
English & Writing
Environmental Studies
Fine Arts
History
Interdisciplinary Studies
Killington School of Resort Management Natural Resources Management
Progressive Program
Psychology
Public Philosophy
Renewable Energy & Ecological Design
Self-Designed Major
Sociology/Anthropology
Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Wilderness & Outdoor Therapy
Wildlife and Forestry Conservation

What the hell is "Public Philosophy," anyway? And what does someone who majors in "Wilderness & Outdoor Therapy" do for a living?

Probably, the only way to get rid of tenured faculty in disciplines no longer needed.

Take ranting leftists with Trump Derangement Syndrome for long walks in the woods so they can scream as loud as they want.

Sounds to me like a “school” that the rich send their idiot children to, to give them a sham education. Reminds me of another such place among the mansions in Rhode Island, Salve Regina University.

That's quite a list. I'm torn between "Progressive Program", "Self-designed Major", and "Public Philosophy" myself. It's sort of like getting your education delivered to you in a box and finding only styrofoam packing inside.

I'd love to take the project on, to be truthful. New faculty, new administrative staff, new student body, new curricula. No Studies programs, intercollegiate athletics, or "Remedial" anything. The words "Social", "Intersectional", "Hate Speech", and "Sustainable" banned from campus.

Gaudeamus igitur, baby.

Probably one of the top schools in the country for a 4 year degree in keeping snow from melting on the ski slope.

Blame Global Warming for the school's failure.

So, if you were going to go for the “Self-Designed Major”, what would you be studying?

“What the hell is “Public Philosophy,” anyway?”

Must be the degree held by Comicus, the famous stand-up philosopher.

Essentially, nothing that would get someone a real job or grad school upon graduation.
