"Beginning fall of 2015, Africana studies and women and gender studies will no longer be available for undergraduate majors at NC State. Both courses of study will become a concentration under interdisciplinary studies. The reason for this change is to consolidate a few smaller programs into a single program."

more like the Board of Governors thinks they're stupid and not "productive"; that is a little different than just wanting to "consolidate" for efficiency

Quote :

"Academic Program Productivity Report The Academic Program Productivity Report (a comprehensive productivity review of academic degree programs across the University of North Carolina system) was presented during the Committee on Educational Planning. The Board of Governors voted to discontinue or consolidate 56 degree programs that fell below established productivity standards. The review, conducted every two years since 1995, had flagged 221 degree programs for closer scrutiny. Forty-six (20%) of all programs flagged were in teacher education. The UNC system has some of the most rigorous productivity standards in the nation to ensure the best use of resources, reduce duplication and address changing state needs and student demand. As a result, the number of programs flagged for review has declined over the past decade (down from 272 in 2008)."
