The chancellor of the University of North Carolina Greensboro, Franklin Gilliam Jr. announced this month the university will be doing away with 20 academic programs due to budget constraints, and some students at other public universities worry it could happen elsewhere. Gilliam wrote in a statement that he will approve many recommendations made by university deans and Provost Debbie Storrs. Bachelor's degrees that will no longer be offered to new students at UNCG include anthropology, physics, secondary education in geography, physical education, teacher education (K-12) and religious studies, Gilliam wrote, and more minors and graduate programs will be cut as well.
