[Another Catholic shoe to drop](https://www.strose.edu/2020/12/08/saint-rose-to-discontinue-academic-programs-as-part-of-proactive-plan-to-address-financial-challenges/):
> As part of a multi-year financial plan for the College’s long-term financial sustainability, the Saint Rose Board of Trustees has approved a plan to reduce academic expenses by $5.97 million, including the closure of 16 unique bachelor’s degrees, six unique master’s degrees, and three certificate programs
The Saint Rose [press release](https://www.strose.edu/2020/12/08/saint-rose-to-discontinue-academic-programs-as-part-of-proactive-plan-to-address-financial-challenges/?utm_campaign=digest&utm_medium=email&utm_source=nuzzel) doth protest too much:
> These changes will not impact the Saint Rose mission of graduating students with critical thinking and writing skills and a deep understanding of how to look at the challenges of our world through the lens and construct of social justice.
The evidence:
> In recent years, Saint Rose has relaunched its Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and launched undergraduate degrees in sales management and cybersecurity, a Master of Science in Social Work, a new delivery model for its MBA called the Flex MBA, and 2-in-4 programs, which allow students to earn both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in four years, saving them time and money.
