《纽约》在2013年10月下旬把这一切都说了出来：人文学科显然在急剧下降，这让学院和大学管理层感到担忧。不要介意人文学科学位授予比例的下降是以一个不正常的峰值作为起点来衡量的;不要介意这种下降伴随着学生在整个课程中的学位选择数量的急剧增加;更不用说人文学科中缺失的专业数量了（艺术史被归入艺术类，而民族研究和其他跨学科领域则完全归入社会科学类）;更不用说，在所有领域中，计算机科学的学位授予率似乎比人文学科下降得更大。一旦老灰夫人已经决定你的相关性正在减弱，似乎，没有什么可做的，但使一杯茶，整理桌巾，等待不可避免的结束。或者，就像Twitter上说的那样：伙计们，人文学科对他们的未来感到焦虑，《泰晤士报》正在关注这一点。
The New York Times laid it all out in late October 2013: The humanities, in apparently precipitous decline, are worrying college and university administrations. Never mind that the drop in the percentage of degrees awarded in the humanities is measured with an abnormal spike as its starting point; never mind that the drop is accompanied by a dramatic increase in the number of degree options for students across the curriculum; never mind the number of majors that are missing from the category of the humanities (art history is grouped among the arts, while ethnic studies and other interdisciplinary fields are credited wholly to the social sciences); never mind that, of all fields, computer science seems to be experiencing a far greater drop in degrees awarded than is the humanities. Once the Old Grey Lady has decided your relevance is waning, it would seem, there’s little to do but make a cup of tea and straighten the doilies and wait for the inevitable end. Or, as Twitter would say: GUYS, the humanities are anxious about their future, and The Times is ON IT.
