‼️Students protest “P&E” report at Rhode Island capitol building‼️

“Why can’t we have a say about what majors get shut down? Why can’t we have a say about what majors stay open?” Hak Kay, a gender studies and film major at Rhode Island College, asked the audience. That was the primary question on protesters’ minds as they gathered by the entrance to the statehouse Thursday, equipped with signs and delivering passionate speeches into a microphone.

The crowd was made up of dozens of Rhode Island College students, many from majors that will be suspended, including the MED in music education, masters in creative writing and BA in women and gender studies. Some who spoke out at the event were even school faculty, including Dr. Leslie Schuster, director of the Women and Gender Studies Department as well as Dr. Elisa Miller, a history and women’s studies professor. Upon hearing that almost the entirety of her class that afternoon would be attending the protest, she cancelled class to attend and speak.

‼️RIC to suspend enrollment of 20 programs, outlined in “P&E” report‼️

A 32 page document released by Rhode Island College’s Office of Provost consists of plans to suspend twenty majors in the fall semester, ranging across multiple departments. Every program listed was given a rationale as to why they should be suspended by their respective department. Consequently, each department has until Oct. 15 2025, to submit their proposed changes, the effects of which will take place immediately.
It is important to note that both the report and President Warner in his email, highlighted the implementation of a “teach-out,” which states that all students will complete the program they are currently enrolled in as planned. No students enrolled at RIC will be forced out of their major, minor or current academic plan before they graduate.

To remain up-to-date on the pending P&E report, The Anchor posts every Monday.
