UST is trying to terminate the environmental studies major completely, saying it is just not worth the money spent and that we are a "dying major." We have 15 majors, and even more who would like to declare, but cannot because they have been blocked from registering. These numbers also do not include those who are freshman and cannot declare because they have not reached 30 hours. Regardless, it is outrageous that UST is cutting back on academics and claiming that money must be moved elsewhere when there seems to be so much money for other things ... Please support UST\'s Environmental Studies Department and sign this petition so we can show UST that people care about this major and the environment! This is something important not just for UST, but for the future of our planet. ps - When it asks you to donate money, you don\'t have to for your signature to count. So don\'t worry about that.

My son is in this program and he works so hard. They shouldn't be blocking students from registering just to kill the department.

This is ridiculous. Environmental issues are the most pressing thing going on right now. How can a university ignore that?

The future of the planet relies on people actually understanding these systems. Cutting this major is so incredibly short sighted.

Total nonsense. They always have money for new buildings or marketing but never for actual academics. Keep the major.
