Now democrats support wars. Funny thing happened on the road to Marxist Communist takeover - democrats are exposed as supporting violent disputes and war.
Oh they’re all for it if it’s their ideas at stake. They were all for the Civil War on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line until they lost. They should’ve ceased to exist as a national party back then.

“Roughly 60 percent of minors are also getting the boot at the public university, according to a recent announcement.”
Kind of rude to not let the youngsters at least finish their degree work.
My mom got a two year “teaching certificate” from St. Cloud State in the early ‘40s. It enabled her to find a job teaching in a one room country school at a tiny town in west central Minnesota. After growing up with her sister and brother during the Depression with only a widowed mother as the family bread winner, it was the first time in her life that she had enough resources to eat properly. It was there she med my dad, and the rest is history.
I am surprised about the elimination of the economics major. St Cloud has always had a strong econ department going back to the late 1960’s. Also eliminating the physics major. Perhaps both majors are just too rigours for todays students.
They already have an incentive to slash STEM degree programs: money.
Thise programs cost way more to run and have lousy margins.
The artsy-farty and liberal arts programs are a two-fer for Big Ed and Deep State: They return big money while indoctrinatinp the boneheads signing up for them.
Bet a lot of the STEM stuff will be on the chopping block.
The schools will just keep quiet about it.
It used to be a nice city until the DFL and the Lutheran Social Services got involved. Lutheran Social Services, my keester. A cover name for an organization of leftists ruining the Lutheran name.
I see a lot of program majors that are dead ends for jobs. I also see many programs better addressed in technical schools than in four year universities. I have a friend who’s daughter graduated from a major private university with a degree in “Peace and Environmental Studies” and obviously couldn’t find a professional job.
“The school is also cutting faculty, staff, and administrative programs.”

Let them find out what its like to work in the real world.
Finally. Massive campus bureaucracies collapsing under their own weight.
“Hospitality is the only degree on the list worth anything.”
*****************
Not really. Grads will have to compete against too many foreigner born workers who will work for low wages and, as you say, willing to work their way up too. Also, if we go into a recession there will be less demand for hospitality jobs.
I know someone with that kind of degree and they don’t work in that industry.
Perfectly stated.
