I don’t know what is being proposed, but admittedly the Uk is littered with awful universities offering variations on “media studies”, which at best offer a government-subsidised lifestyle to some students for a few years, and at worst are visa scams (pay to join, you’ll get a student visa).
But of course they might mean “what use is psychology to a corporate automaton anyway”.
It's hard to quantify the peripheral value of courses like those offered in the arts and humanities.
I'm very STEM-oriented, but I feel there's value in these courses that don't directly pay off in the free market.
