Now, the total number of majors is a different story but: 1) Non-history majors should know some history too! and 2) a lot of that is driven by inaccurate assumptions students have about the relative earning power of various degrees.
But every year I see universities announcing plans to cut humanities departments with good enrollments on the excuse that they have poor numbers of majors, which is just..very dumb? History classes are *cheap* to run, but students pay the same for them.
Consider the perversity of the situation. My classes fill. Every class I've taught since I graduated has been 80+% of capacity. All I need is a room, a projector and some chairs. I am dirt cheap - and I will put butts in seats and tuition dollars in the bursar's office.
So where's my job? What university is going to take me up on the offer? Oh right, they blew the money on non-teaching related costs: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/08/why-state-universities-have-no-other-choice-but-to-reopen/615565/ … And so there is no job for me or bunches and bunches of other history PhDs who are just as good.
So they cut my course, add more offerings in science (which are important! But *really expensive* to offer - colleges can lose money offering STEM courses) and wonder why that doesn't solve their budget crunch.
But hey, there's 'no demand for history' sure thing, boss. No demand at all. That's absolutely why I can self-fund my research with the most shoe-string garbage Patreon on the internet (by the way, support me on Patreon!)
