Great. You'll have a population of illiterates ready to unleash upon the world. Sociologists perform their function, and probably a valuable one, somehow, but getting rid of English is ridiculous. Like Rufus said, a large number of people graduate high school without learning how to read and write. Somebody's gotta teach 'em.

I'm sorry, that was intended to be ironic... If you read my other posts on the subject, you'd see that I don't advocate striking any classes from the curriculum...Gnu Ex Machina - the Gnu in the Machine -

I'm not sure how much the budget of the arts classes were cut, but the overall effects have been much more noticeable for the sciences.
As for bias, I've been in both the sciences and arts, but admittedly, not in social sciences. Still, I do believe it is more expensive to run the typical social science class, then for English or History.
It would probably be better to have universities close to each other specialise, according to the facilities available. This way each university could better address a particular course simply through economy of scale. For BC, I would have UBC do most of the technical courses, while SFU could take most of the arts students.However, most uni's don't have a clear view on what they do want to accomplish...Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

I can't believe that people here actually are siding with the senator.
where my students were overwhwelmingly the products of US public schools, and many simply could not read complex material (anything written above the level of a newspaper)
Thats a scary thought. Newsapapers are generally written to a third-grader's level of English, so a large number of people not being able to read above that level speaks volumes.

There is a time and a place for everything. It's called college.
