Dozens of Kennesaw State University students and others gathered outside University System of Georgia offices in Atlanta Wednesday to ask the Board of Regents not to eliminate majors in Black studies, philosophy and technical communication.

The university announced last month that it plans to eliminate the three majors, citing low enrollment numbers.

Kennesaw State University spokeswoman Tammy DeMel said the programs did not meet the graduation standards required by all majors.
