Myongji began as a women's college (under a different name), and women then were still not expected to become engineers and the like.


Assuming that Myongji wants to emphasize non-scientific fields, why is the philosophy department threatened? Is philosophy considered as a discipline for men?

Maybe I missed it, but how large is the current faculty? And are they permanent, or do they find guest lecturers from around the world that rotate in and out?

If this program were abolished, would the faculty leave academia altogether and assume a completely different career?

In ancient China, "Guqin, Weiqi, Calligraphy and Painting" were regarded as four kinds of arts.
Why not set up a department according to the four arts?

When the trope of abolishing your club because it doesn't have enough members happens in real life. Although admittedly that ironically started with Hikaru no Go, Hikaru no Go started quite a few Anime tropes!

Maybe this news article from couple of days ago is a good overview of the situation.
