More signs of the times: Eastern Illinois University considers eliminating philosophy program, among others

Story here.  Faculty positions will not necessarily be lost, even if the major is, though that remains to be seen.  Some of this is due to the wicked Illinois Governor Bruce "country club" Rauner, whose refusal to compromise has prevented a regular budget from being enacted, creating huge pressures on the public universities.  Readers will recall that the philosophy major at Western Illinois University was also axed last year.
