University of North Carolina at Greensboro Chancellor Franklin Gilliam has announced his final decision regarding program cuts at the school. The move comes following a roughly year-long academic portfolio review.
Although UNCG is on solid financial footing with strong ratings from S&P and Moody’s, administrators there cited declining enrollment numbers as one reason for the review process which began in 2022.
In his email to Spartan faculty, students and staff, Gilliam thanks them for their commitment to the school before laying out the list of programs to be discontinued. In all, twenty undergraduate majors, minors, and graduate programs will no longer be accepting new students as they enter what is expected to be a lengthy wind-down period to allow current students in the affected programs to complete their chosen studies.
Majors to be cut include anthropology, physics and religious studies, and staff impacted includes both non-tenured and tenured faculty.
