Every Major is at Risk

I urge all HSU students and their parents to read the list below. If your program is eliminated, will your degree still have value? After mass eliminations, will a degree from HSU still have value? When does HSU cease to be a university?

Geography, Political Science, Business Administration, Sociology, Kinesiology, Psychology, Anthropology, Mathematics, History,  Recreation Administration, Economics, Women's Studies, Religious Studies, Biology, Natural Resources Planning & Interpretation, Wildlife, English, Social Work, Journalism, International Studies, Art, Native American Studies, Communication, Zoology, Ethnic Studies, Spanish, Forestry, Child Development, Environmental Science, Botany, Geology, Theatre, Film, and Dance, French, Music, Environmental Resources Engineering, Philosophy, Liberal Studies Elementary Education, Nursing, Fisheries Biology, Oceanography, Chemistry, Physics, Rangeland Resource Science, Computer Information Systems, Computer Science.

I urge you and your parents to request that no majors be cut at the end of spring semester or in the summer. No program should be eliminated when students and faculty are not on campus!

Convey your concerns about program elimination to:

- Charles Reed Chancellor CSU: creed@calstate.edu
- Board of Trustees, CSU: bot@calstate.edu
- Rollin Richmond, President HSU: rollinr@humboldt.edu            
- Bob Snyder, Provost HSU: ras1@humboldt.edu
- Saeed Mortazavi, Chair, Academic Senate HSU: sm5@humboldt.edu
- Academic Senate members: mbs7001@humboldt.edu

First they eliminated the German Program, and I did not speak out because I was not a teacher or student in that program. Then they came for Soils and Rangeland Management and Applied Technology, and I did not speak out because I was not a teacher or student in Soils or Rangeland Management or Applied Technology. Then they eliminated Chemistry, Physics, Fisheries Biology, and Computer Science, and I did not speak out because I was not a teacher or student of Chemistry, Physics, Fisheries Biology or Computer Science. Then they eliminated Oceanography, Nursing, Philosophy and Child Development, and I did not speak out because I was not a teacher or student in Oceanography, Nursing, Philosophy or Child Development.Then they eliminated MY major and there was no one left to speak out for me. (I have adapted this statement by the German Pastor Martin Niemoeller because I believe it is pertinent to our dismal situation at HSU.)

What values are we teaching our HSU students?

I urge concerned parents and students to request that no majors be cut at the end of spring semester or in the summer. No program should be eliminated when students and faculty are not on campus! Convey your concerns about program elimination directly to:

Charles Reed Chancellor CSU creed@calstate.edu
