The existence of majors such as “Mexican-American Studies” is the main reason students in real courses of study, such as accounting, have such a hard time getting all their required coursework in.

Just two students are majoring in Mexican-American studies this year...

What are we going to do? How is our country going to survive? Where can we turn for Mexican-American information in an emergency?

Anyway, here’s some self-study material:

How about a major in wasted resources?

The hastily arranged forum came after pushback from Latino students and professors following the university’s March 25 decision to suspend the major because of low enrollment. Just two students are majoring in Mexican-American studies this year, continuing a downward trend since the major boasted 11 students in the 2010-11 academic year....If the suspension remains in place, Landeira and company will have until Sept. 15 to create a focused plan to address the major’s challenges, including limited job outcomes. Three of the five publicized job outcomes are human relations positions. The two others are event planner and translator.

Impressive. Even after four years of the program, only five graduates found related work. /sarc>

“The more than 50 students, faculty and staff members crowded into the Lindou Auditorium...”

Admin should’ve had a registration desk set up at the forum with a sign...

“Show your support for the Mexican-American major...register for classes NOW. Put your money where your mouth is.”

Related matter of high school Spanish while they eliminate French and Latin. Our local school only has French and Spanish left. The Spanish class is mostly full of kids who are fluent already (if you get what I mean) with a few non Spanish speakers who couldn’t get into the full French class.

These snot nosed punks need to worry about American culture and quit with the Mexican crap. I say this with the realization that many of these “students” are illegals.
