The emails I keep getting from current students are just breaking my heart because they feel so lost about their own future paths. I am trying to organize a real sit-down with the department heads but honestly it feels like shouting into a void right now despite all the signatures piling up.

Ridiculous. Why would you get rid of a program that actually leads to careers? Keep it open!

My niece is currently in this major and it would be a shame to lose such a good path for students. Howard needs to do better.

This program is vital for the community. We need more black professionals in this field and cutting the degree is a huge mistake. Leave it alone.
