My Wife's University is being Gutted
In Indiana… a state university. One of her classes lost about half its students due to international students either having visas denied or simply choosing to not return.
She has to post her class syllabi on a public website next week. One class is a lit class from a disability perspective. She expects this will be the last time that class will run.
The loss of international students is likely to seriously damage her university.
She had planned to retire in 7 years. We are now making back-up plans in case she is forced out early. There are rumors of a buy-out offer. She may even consider that.
What a ****ing mess.

Did any DU-Denizen notice that this is oxymoronic? How can a class lose "half its students" when the supposedly lost students cannot or did not enter the US so as to enroll in the class?
It takes a virulent Trump-Hater to demonize simply enforcing US laws concerning student visas.
One class is a lit class from a disability perspective. She expects this will be the last time that class will run.
How does a "disability perspective" change teaching Literature? It's not like people with disabilities are missing from the writings, e.g., of Charles Dickens or Charlotte Bronte. As for injecting Victimology, that cultural perspective is foreign to their writings. Try teaching what the books are instead of injecting something they are not. Want Victim-Lit, find it in ideological ghetto bookstore sections or write it yourself.

A university professor having to face ordinary real-world workplace changes? With 1 or 2 or ? years to prepare? Whine about that to normal people laid off with a month's or a day's or zero notice. How not shocking. Maybe she could learn to code ... or get fryolator training.

This "class" should never have been run. PERIOD. Indiana state should be cutting funding to this "college" by 70% if such a class was ever taught. Hell even considered being taught. What a waste of taxpayer mony.
