I understand your frustration, but it is my understanding that Clark still offers a very rich liberal arts education. Also, for English literature, the English department is not going away. Besides continuing with “classic” liberal arts, I believe that the new organization — with opportunities for interdisciplinary and community-based engagement — will enrich the liberal arts education. Plus, Clark has a 4+1 (do your undergrad with a good GPA, and you get to stay one for a Masters with minor costs). That is what appealed to me.
