Faculty at Texas university fear entire liberal arts departments will be slashed

Of fucking course it's UT Austin. Well, education was nice while it lasted. Go into STEM, be ill-prepared for the state of the art four years later; stick with the humanities, and the last course you need for your degree is no longer offered.

Why would anyone go to college at this point? Just paying tuition to be around people your age after high school?

While UT Austin leaders have said little about their plans for the university’s future, the new provost, William Inboden, recently outlined his vision in a 7,000-word manifesto published in National Affairs, a rightwing magazine. In the essay, he laments the crisis of “legitimacy and trust” in US higher education and universities’ “ideological imbalance”, in part blaming the “identity-studies framework” for them.

“Too many American history courses present the American past as a litany of oppressions and hypocrisies, leaving students with an imbalanced view of the United States,” he wrote, repeating a position often invoked by conservatives, including Donald Trump, who have railed against universities as bastions of woke liberalism.

Yep, White folk got here, lived in peace alongside the natives, and then a whole bunch of people who wanted unpaid jobs emigrated here from Africa. It's all been aboveboard.
