From The Washington Post, “Rural students’ options shrink as colleges slash majors”:
Many of the majors affected by cuts are in the humanities and languages, making those disciplines less available to rural students than they are to people who live in urban and suburban areas.Two-tier education, for sure.

i could almost argue that it's not just two-tier education but more along the lines of keep people uneducated and then they can't question or think.
a few weeks ago my brother and i wondered around the university that we both went to. our father was head of the electrical engineering department for over 20 years. his office has now become part of the geography dept as newer engineering buildings have been built. the worst part is that the departments now have names added to them as wealthy graduates have donated funds to have it named after them rather than their educational accomplishments. state legislatures no longer give funds to the universities are depending on wealthy alumni for donations which results in their names being put on a department much like naming of stadiums.
