That list is not what I would expect as having a hard time in West Virginia.

Not sure how accurate this list is. Acting is both unimpacted and eliminated according to this post, for example.

I don't have a hard time believing that mining is not as productive a field as it once was. It's a shrinking part of the WV economy.

Great call out on Acting, I needed to be more specific.

As you can see here: https://provost.wvu.edu/files/d/28d9f865-8d36-4e55-a4d0-475c...

BFA Acting is unimpacted but MFA Acting is being eliminated.

Could also just mean that they have some fewer teaching personnel or in research positions. Trying to do same job with less people.

Isn't this the problem with all teaching positions?

You have to really like academia to go into a role like that.

Especially when you can make so much more om money in the private sector.
