San Francisco State University proposed discontinuing the B.A. in Italian, B.A. in German and B.A. in Ethnic Studies through the College of Professional & Global Education, following historically low enrollment and faculty layoffs.
Claude Bartholomew, director of strategic initiatives and university curriculum coordinator, said that the programs under review had “limited enrollment,” a determining factor for their proposed discontinuance. “Essentially, someone in the department has proposed that the program be discontinued,” Bartholomew said in an email.
