Nevada's Reno Campus May Cut Language and Agriculture Programs

October 21, 2008 02:14 PM ET | Alison Go | Permanent Link | Print

At the University of Nevada-Reno, officials might cut several small academic majors because of a severe budget shortfall, the Nevada Sagebrush reports. Programs that are on the brink include French, German, and two agriculture programs (The provost would not specify which two.)

The state of Nevada has been hit hard by the flailing economy, with gambling and tourism revenues down, and the school could see $62 million in cuts over the next two years. No official decisions have been made, and the provost says he hopes individual department heads and deans would make the decisions themselves.

UNR program cuts

As a past UNR Renewable Natural Resources graduate student in rangeland ecology I pray that the provost would spare the Renewable Natural Resources program. The excellence of that school launched me on a 25 year career with the US Forest Service and now the Dept. of Defense as a natural resource manager. I have been priveleged to participate in management decision making for some of this country's finest land resources. UNR has/had a topnotch land management school.
