There’s also an element of hazing, too, cutting humanities as a way for admins to prove their loyalty to the legislature and the board.

Also? At the moment, a fair number of program closures are not a big deal. They are artifacts, don’t have m/any students in them, etc. But it looks good to say you are cutting 80 programs. Now, the big pain is surely coming with huge reorgs and cuts of vibrant degree programs.

Very true! That’s clearly the play at my uni: using well publicized cuts to create space for the option of reorganizing Arts and Sciences into more “manageable” subject area units and easier to move or eliminate as wanted.
