Abstract:

Many universities no longer require English majors to take a course on William Shakespeare’s works. Critics claim these universities neglect to foster excellence in students by substituting courses in popular culture, sexuality, and multiculturalism. UNC English professors say this can be a good thing, however, because it promotes diversity and literature relevant to modern time.
