That list is not what I would expect as having a hard time in West Virginia.
- joe5150 3y agoNot sure how accurate this list is. Acting is both unimpacted and eliminated according to this post, for example. I don't have a hard time believing that mining is not as productive a field as it once was. It's a shrinking part of the WV economy.
- CSMastermind 3y agoYou can see the recommendations for yourself here: https://provost.wvu.edu/academic-transformation/academic-program-portfolio-review https://provost.wvu.edu/academic-transformation/academic-pro... Great call out on Acting, I needed to be more specific. As you can see here: https://provost.wvu.edu/files/d/28d9f865-8d36-4e55-a4d0-475c4ad256f9/preliminary-recommendation-school-of-theatre-and-dance.pdf https://provost.wvu.edu/files/d/28d9f865-8d36-4e55-a4d0-475c... BFA Acting is unimpacted but MFA Acting is being eliminated.
- Ekaros 3y agoCould also just mean that they have some fewer teaching personnel or in research positions. Trying to do same job with less people.
- WirelessGigabit 3y agoIsn't this the problem with all teaching positions? You have to really like academia to go into a role like that. Especially when you can make so much more om money in the private sector.
