According to an August 20 email obtained by the Herald from Deborah Nelson, Dean of the Division of the Arts and Humanities, Ph.D. admissions in nearly all of its humanities departments, including English language and literature, classics, art history and linguistics, will be suspended for the 2026-2027 academic year. The U. of C. has since said that only philosophy and music composition will continue to admit new students in the division. Admissions will also be paused in the Crown School of Social Work, the Harris School of Public Policy and several doctoral programs in the Division of the Social Sciences, including anthropology and political economy.

Absolutely wild and egregious (sad and sick stuff). They have a $10B endowment and top-5 programs across the humanities. Why didn't they reduce admissions, rather than halting them entirely?

university bureaucracies make the federal government look simple. they can't take away from the funds allocated to yearly aeron chair refurbishment in the library dungeon to do "practical" stuff

halting admissions entirely is extreme but top phd programs often bank on a meaningful % of their students being funded by some kind of grant or fellowship and that racket is being seriously squeezed. ironically and sadly the fields that will be less affected will be those with a greater % of foreign students because they receive foreign funding. still foolish to close admissions.

Why not just admit 500 more Chinamen to the financial math masters to pay for it all
