There are a lot of big questions at play here, but the most fundamental might be: what is the point of college?
Townsley's most passionate denunciations, though, are reserved for critics of her academic overhaul. She eliminated 15 underenrolled majors: economics, religion, physics, philosophy, anthropology, American civilization, international relations, Spanish, French, urban studies, public policy, health psychology, Latin American and Caribbean studies, women and gender studies, and English theatre. Citing data on which industries were likely to be hiring in future years, she's preparing to add new ones in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and, eventually, nursing. That's upset liberal arts traditionalists; multiple experts and current and former faculty members derisively volunteered the phrase "trade school" to describe what she's building. Asked about their concerns, Townsley literally scoffs. "It's nice to sit in an ivory tower and say, 'Well, we just do it for education's sake. But that's not realistic or, quite honestly, fair to a student anymore." In a separate conversation, she's even more blunt: "You have to look at the market and what's in demand and what is going to benefit the student. They come for an education because they need a job afterwards. So Latin American studies? What are they going to do with that?"
