Police and fire departments across the nation are struggling to fill open spots and that s why local agencies are coming up with outside-the-box recruitment efforts.
Schools Slamming the Door on Liberal Arts Programs
2 months ago
As reported by the Star Tribune a couple of weeks ago, the University of Minnesota will not accept new students into many of its liberal arts programs in the fall of 2021.
The university is stopping admission in twelve programs, including history, political science, theater arts, and gender studies. New enrollments will be limited to 15 other programs. No program outside the university’s college of liberal arts will be affected.
Universities across the nation are making similar decisions–cutting or reducing programs in languishing liberal arts disciplines.
Interest in the traditional fields of liberal arts has been declining for decades, and job opportunities in these disciplines have dwindled.
