STONY BROOK -
Stony Brook University students protested Wednesday against planned program cuts.
They're against possible plans to end undergraduate majors in theater arts, cinema and cultural studies and comparative literature. The $1.5 million in cutbacks would also combine some language departments.
Some students say the programs are vital.
"They're the cornerstone of higher learning," one student said.
The college said in a statement: "We are looking at all aspects of the University in an extremely challenging budget environment. That said, no final decisions have been made on any program changes at this time."
