https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/04/19/cornel-west-howard-classics/Though it should be noted, this is not technically about getting rid of classics at Howard, the department is being dissolved and the classes will be offered through other departments, as I understand it. Which is something being discussed in many academic classics departments, not just Howard. But the issue is distinctly different from Universities and colleges getting rid of humanities departments and classes (also not new, but perhaps accelerating)- as in the state of Wisconsin university system.
