NYT: Subsidize STEM and defund liberal arts?

@Much2learn

Okay…

I never took a precalculus class and barely passed algebra 1 and 2 as a college student. I am not taking calculus.

That was my math GE in community college. Now that I’m an upper division urban planning major, those skills are bread and butter.

Could we expand that list? I was required to do a lab science, and I went with biological anthropology. It was an entire course just on the mechanisms of evolution. Imparted just as much knowledge of the scientific method as physics or chemistry would have, while being more interesting to me.

What counts as a computer science course? I absolutely hate programming, but I’m a Geographic Information Systems minor. Is GIS a form of computer science? It is a set of pretty sophisticated computer skills. It just isn’t programming.

Aside from calculus, I like the list if the categories are opened up a bit.
