The Universities are going insane

George Washington University has made a course in US History optional for history majors.

The history department at GWU has been facing declining interest and enrollment. As a result, they’ve decided that an answer to that problem, and an effective way to recruit new students, is to “to better reflect a globalizing world,” according to comments made by George Washington University faculty members to the student newspaper, The Hatchet.

I guess with declining student enrollment, there less need for those tenured professors in the department. I doubt that downgrading the academics will attract more serious students willing to pay $68,725 per year for tuition. Of course the government will loan them the money and it will take two lifetimes to pay it back working at Starbucks.
