All methods of investigating things outside of ourselves are firmly rooted in the study of philosophy. Indeed, empirical science itself is a child of philosophy.

To attempt to substitute interdisciplinary studies for philosophy is, unfortunately, just a bad joke.

Let's not do away with this without really evaluating it's worth on a broad scale. A voice from our community based on sound philosophy is badly needed today.

Classics, Philosophy, and Anthropology should remain separate departments, and should all remain a part of the HU course offerings. How are you competing with the best schools when you don't have course offerings from a wide breadth of subjects?

Howard students like Albany students are sophisticated enough to know that business degrees without humanities are designed to produce lower middle management robots.

Not only is it detrimental to the school's academic image, it also hinders the students, and thereby the communities in which they serve. Colleges and Universities should produce well-rounded individuals and classes. Alumni who are able to conceptualize what causes inequalities in societies, and alumni who are able to use technical skills to eradicate those inequalities.
HBCUs should develop citizens of the world, not robots.
