The university didn’t announce its decision in a news release and hasn’t fully explained it, but two deans blamed a new grad workers’ union contract for the cutbacks to a dozen programs including English, history and sociology.

Wow. Via @fossilesque, BU appears to be retaliating for grad student unionization by just stopping graduate admissions in the humanities, probably correctly guessing that the incoming NRLB and courts will won’t stop them. Curious if there will be a response from students and faculty.
