University Of Montana Cuts Literature And Economics Programs; Students Will Now Learn Neither
The University of Montana announced this week it will eliminate its master’s programs in both literature and economics, ensuring that future graduates will understand neither the human condition nor the financial system that governs it.
“We had to make some tough choices,” said Provost Margaret Sunderland. “And we decided the toughest choice was to produce graduates who can’t analyze a novel or a balance sheet.”
The decision came after a comprehensive review determined that students who understand complex texts and economic theory are “difficult to manage” and “ask too many questions during orientation.”
