@math The West Virginia University Provost's Office is recommending closing the MS and Ph.D. programs in Math. It is the only Ph.D. program in Math in the entire state, and about 10% of all WVU Ph.D.'s are in Math.

Please consider signing this petition to save the program: https://chng.it/yPZDTTsfBk
