Just my $.02 I wonder if instead of cutting those majors, I wonder if thought was given to cutting athletics programs with only a small number of participants. http://www.facebook.com/mikejohnson.author Back to Top BillyTheCat General User Member Since: 10/6/2012 Post Count: 9,941 Status: Offline     RE: Possible cuts in Oxford    Posted: 10/10/2023 3:18:07 PM  Mike Johnson wrote: BillyTheCat wrote: Alan Swank wrote: https://www.fox19.com/2023/10/09/miami-university-conside... / If you can't get 35 students in a major in 4 years, what are you doing having a stand alone major in the first place?

Yeah, I'd cut a sport like synchronized skating, which has 42 student athletes and no scholarships. That sport is bringing in more tution monies than those majors that are seeing 35 kids in 4 years!

I'm all for a strong commitment to the basic liberal arts departments at all levels of higher education, but when you're talking about things like Russian & East European Studies, you only really have a chance to be successful and attract corporate and government recruiters if you have AAU type resources to put behind them. Here's a list of the designated "National Resource Centers" and there aren't a lot of schools like Miami on it. Did Miami just think putting them out there and saying "public ivy" a thousand times would bring the World Bank or CIA to campus? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Resource_Center Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 5  of 5 Posts Jump to Page:   1 View Other 'General Ohio University Discussion/Alumni Events' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 300 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 298 Guests 2 Registered Users:   L.C., Deciduous Forest Cat There are no other users looking at this page.
