Guess what degrees the admins making the recommendations hold themselves.

These degrees are not being impacted:

> Women’s and Gender Studies; Philosophy; Health Services and Outcomes Research; Social and Behavioral Sciences

They're not comp sci and engineering grads.

This is nonsense. WGS and philosophy probably cost nothing and just aren't on the radar. They want to eliminate the higher ed administration program.

That's not true; computer engineering is represented in the list of degrees that the administration has.

Clicking through to WGS https://provost.wvu.edu/files/d/ce4522bc-ed40-4c71-a402-4bdf...

show that it's being merged under soc/anth and self-submitted a plan to cut their costs by 63% and has already gotten rid of one instructor.
