Since it seems like the death throes of this site are in the works (maybe currently happening?) I did make an account on that other "prehistoric" social media site. Same @ on the .social part of it (for now, may migrate later).

Hey, @WestVirginiaU check out this article from a former student that outlines exactly how cutting these programs will only affect your enrolment even further!

Public administration, English, languages, mathematics… one of the things emerging about the programs where WVU is firing faculty/cutting programs is that they have no facilities/are cheap to run the faculty themselves represent the entire infrastructure. Eating seed corn.

@llmunro Study abroad with language learning! Two things they never had access to in University! #ffs

[Dr. Erin Cowling @profecowling]

@ISASaxonists @Saichukan It's not even "just" the humanities at WVU. They're canceling grad programs in Math and Data Sciences. I thought Data Sciences was the thing that was going to save/kill us all (depending on where you stand in relation to them).

Here’s the 27-page review that the WVU World Languages program put together earlier this summer that makes the case for why the program should be kept. https://t.co/By2Yc4q0on

attacking*. and no, I'm not paying to edit a tweet when this is the first time I've been on in months.

[Dr. Erin Cowling @profecowling]

Not only are languages in trouble. @WestVirginiaU is also attaching math and sciences

[Dr. Krista Kay Bresock (she/her) @BresockCalculus]

WVU School of Mathematical and Data Sciences update: recommendation for discontinuance of graduate program in math — MS and PhD

How embarrassing for WVU and the state.

[Dr. Erin Cowling @profecowling]

@WestVirginiaU Not only does this affect students who might want to study languages, it affects other programs - grad programs in #law #history and others have students learn languages so they can read in their chose field.

[Dr. Erin Cowling @profecowling]

PLEASE SHARE WIDELY #academictwitter #academia @WestVirginiaU just recommended to dissolve the World Languages Department, eliminating all language majors, and firing all faculty. It is outrageous to have an R1 State University without #languages. #humanities

DYK that 17th century ppl in Spain had to worry about being poisoned and cursed with witchcraft - by #chocolate? Dr. Cowling’s research on chocolate in Spanish literature is fascinating. She covers it all in this YouTube video: https://t.co/38PPtZlJdn Follow her at @profecowling
