No economics degree will be offered at a University in Washington D.C. Think about that for a moment...

The irony.  This is happening at The University of D.C. (as in District of Columbia, you know, the nation's capitol) INSTEAD of cutting (or EVEN considering cutting) athletic programs.

UDC trustees keep athletics for now, but cut 17 academic programs

"One by one, with a few exceptions, the trustees terminated a series of academic degree programs the other night at the only public university in the nation’s capital.

“Any discussion on economics?” asked Elaine Crider, chairwoman of the Board of Trustees of the University of the District of Columbia. “If not, all in favor vote ‘aye.’” And so the board voted Tuesday night to discontinue the undergraduate major in economics."

Hmmm....No one will be able to get a degree in economics at a college in Washington D.C. where is it needed THE MOST.

Think about that...
