I don't think it will happen totally. However, I have already seen how the economy plays a huge role in college offerings. I don't see how these times would be any different. This time around, I fear the magnitude of the amount of cuts that will take place. Nowadays, colleges are run like businesses. If it doesn't make money and bring up enrollment, programs get the ax. It has happened before. It will again. The only good thing is the pendulum always swings back and forth with time. Oh, I can see this happening very easily. I don’t think it will happen totally.
