Academia should cut the humanities loose.

Disagree; if higher education’s aim is to create well-rounded citizens with a fair understanding of many different areas of domain knowledge - let’s say it is for a moment! - then the humanities must be preserved.
The current 50-year campaign to turn higher education into a Big Business & STEM trade-school & gatekeeper of the Middle Class has been a success, as the MBA’d legion of Professional Administrators have taken over and done away with “Shared Governance” - it is a shame that so many people think knowledge of language, history, and philosophy should be relegated to obscurity.
We *are* currently living in a world where engineers, managers, and politicians think and operate only within their tiny domain, and it *sucks* that our students are discouraged from receiving education in a variety of disciplines.
