Keystone College to Eliminate Two Majors, Layoff Employees
Keystone College has announced plans to layoff professors and eliminate programs as part of a campus-wide realignment.
The college near Factoryville is done for the semester but administrators rolled out plans that will affect students for the next few years.
Keystone will layoff a total of 16 employees and eliminate the visual arts and geology majors.
The school will still offer those classes but plan to rework the programs to make them more career-friendly.
“It was certainly not a snap decision nor was it an easy decision. It was really part of a comprehensive approach that we’ve been looking at for many, many months.

The graduates can learn geology by digging trenches for a living.
why eliminate legitimate scientific study? because they need grievance studies majors for angsty students to transition into once they fail at stem.
Whenever I see one of these posts on LI, I like to go to the college’s website to see what majors and minors they offer, in order to find out which ones they’re keeping.

In this case, I don’t see any questionable majors (“grievance studies”) — although they do have a vaguely-described AA program called Liberal Studies that has apparently escaped the chopping block.
It’s the curriculum that counts, not the title.
