During the end of my first year at the University of Tulsa, controversial news was announced to both the student body and the faculty body. That the administration had plans to cut a multitude of programs associated with non-S.T.E.M. degrees offered at the university. As an Arts and Sciences major, these changes would not affect me during my time at TU, but for future students, it would remove a sizable number of options available for the current student body. Opinions on this ranged from saying it was a useful measure for creating job growth in future generations within S.T.E.M. fields. Other opinions however considered and widely vocalized it as being a massive gutting of the liberal arts programs in favor of making the university more akin to a for-profit trade school. Protests were organized by the student body to highlight their dissatisfaction with the actions proposed by the TU President at the time, President Clancy. Votes were even held to show that both the student and faculty of the University of Tulsa had no confidence in the Presidents abilities to lead the university. With this all being announced at the end of the school year, time was given to let it simmer down during the summer break. However, the opinions of the student body continued to express dissatisfaction with both President Clancy and Provost Levitt well into the next year and thereafter. Unity in the student body was ample during this time, S.T.E.M. and the arts united to keeping TU a true center for learning.
