A degree in dead languages might be useful for certain archaeology positions. But there are probably only a handful of these positions in the whole world.

It's not even a degree. It's a minor. This is a liberal arts school. They have a lot of programs under review now because they will have 1 or 2 students in the program. Why do you have a program for so few students? They don't have business degrees, IT degrees, etc. In good times they have about 2500 students. Now it's around 2000. I have no idea how they have survived having so many programs with a handful of students. I can't imagine they're the only college like this either. With Ithaca College dropping 20 programs, you can see how much can really be trimmed away at many colleges. 

Here's another example of a university cutting programs except this time it's a group of STEM programs that are being eliminated.

The school only offers 13 majors in total and 12 of those are STEM - so they HAVE to cut STEM majors if they cut anything.  And they only have 77 students, more than half of whom are seniors in the 5 majors they're cutting.  So basically they don't have students wanting those majors.  They SHOULD be cutting them.
