"📢 Sad News: WVU recommends ending Math graduate programs (MS & PhD). This means that there will potentially be no PhD math program in WV. A puzzling move for a land-grant institution! "

"Mathematics and Data Sciences: Discontinue MS Mathematics, PhD Mathematics. Approval for intent to plan for MS Applied Mathematics/Data Sciences program. Eliminate 18 of 49 faculty.

This is consistent with earlier reports."
