The STEM surge ended well before this article was written. Business, nursing, and soft non-STEM social sciences have been the hot pursuits for almost a half decade now. Incoming students have likely caught wind of these programs attrition—Half of those who who start with STEM end with non-STEM degrees. a STEM students don’t need more humanities, they actually need more STEM, likely the remedial kind. Why are the stem nerds being singled out as the herd that needs virtue education in the first place? Stem personalities and abilities trend towards just and high according to my stereotype. Is this because of Zuck? Probably. Of any major that could use ethics as behavior training, Id imagine any of grimey business school ones as being more appropriate, at least in this new neoliberal capitalism paradigm. A decade earlier virtue and profiteering were a dipole given.
