Summary:
- Purdue University is planning to cut or consolidate 7 academic programs in response to a new state law that will require public universities to review and potentially eliminate low-enrollment programs.
- The programs being considered for elimination include several foreign language and humanities majors, as well as some engineering and science-related programs.
- The university says these changes are necessary to align its academic offerings with student demand and state funding priorities, but some faculty and students are concerned about the impact on educational opportunities.
