Affirmative Action for the Humanities
That's right. Incoming classes are showing an increasing interest in majoring in the sciences as opposed to the humanities. Apparently, this does not sit well with some humanities faculty members. One of them proposed a solution to this situation -- make the applicant's proposed field of interest a factor in the admissions decision. That way, new classes will have an equal number of students intending to majoring in the humanities and in the sciences.
