you've got some real gems here, Mike. And where's my shout-out?!

Back on the topic of women's studies. It probably won't surprise anyone to hear that I completed a women's studies minor at BYU. Here's one thing that really struck me from that press release:

Quote:
the Women’s Studies minor, which had been administered by the institute, will now be administered by the College of Family, Home and Social Sciences.
I don't even remember WRI, which must have existed. What I do remember was that the minor was interdisciplinary, and I basically took courses in the arts and soft sciences. They were, for the most part, versions of the same thing through a different academic lens, which was better than nothing. I did NOT take courses in family, home and social sciences. That the minor would be administered through that college concerns me deeply. Sigh.
