Cuts to academic departments pursued by West Virginia University President E. Gordon Gee have put him at odds with stude

West Virginia University senior Mailyn Sadler leads a protest outside the Mountainlair student union against cuts to programs in world languages and other departments on Aug. 21, 2023. Less than 2% of West Virginia University’s students are primary majors whose departments would be affected by budget cuts.

Under the initial proposal, the provost’s office recommended that 33 undergraduate and graduate programs be discontinued. Collectively, those 33 programs had 434 majors in August, when the initial proposal was made. "The problem students have had with this statement is reflected in ‘whatsoever,’" Frankie Tack, the WVU Faculty Senate chair, told PolitiFact West Virginia."Many students take courses in other majors and disciplines and will be affected even though their home program will not be discontinued."
