West Virginia University plans to eliminate its world languages department but is recommending letting students take some language elective courses as it faces a growing budget shortfall.
The university did, however, say that after the appeal it is recommending preserving some face-to-face instruction in two languages: Spanish and Chinese. The university said its recommending that five faculty focused on teaching those languages stay on in a different department. The university’s preliminary recommendations released earlier this month would have eliminated all 24 world languages positions.
Just one first-time undergraduate was enrolled as a primary major in languages this fall. That figure excludes students who have declared double majors. A dozen majors are recommended to be axed are undergraduate-level, while 20 are graduate-level majors. The university said the proposed cuts would represent a total of 434 students, or 2% of its total enrollment.
