Professor Christopher A. Snyder, West Virginia alumnus and former faculty member at Marymount University, writing in Inside Higher Education: “The statements issued by the leaders of these two very different universities (West Virginia University and Marymount University)* show an utter incomprehension of what a liberal arts education actually means.” Read Snyder’s “A Liberal Education in Name Only” here.

*WVU dismantled the Department of World Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics. Marymount eliminated majors in English, history, math, philosophy, sociology, and theology, among others.
