Admitting that it's been [cough] decades since I was anywhere near an English Lit. course...even back then, the workloads (hours/week of required reading) were notorious. Similar for the lackluster job market for English Lit. majors. That does not sound like a combination to attract many marginally-qualified students, regardless of affirmative action.
