I am now an anachronism
Wow, for those that haven't seen the Facebook post, an article in today's NY Times mentions that in order to save money, the University of California Santa Cruz campus is cutting the minor in music and the bachelor's degree in Earth Sciences. It doesn't seem to be reflected on the department website yet, but it kind of shocks me. I mean, it was never the biggest major (maybe 100 students when I was in the program), but the department was pretty well-funded through research grants. What is the world coming to? or, I should say, what is California coming to? Ai-ya. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/11/education/11calif.html?hpw
