"Humanities Hardest Hit"

You can not hold it against those who made the jokes. Jokes tell.

Actual quote regarding the "Humanities" in our university systems:

"Previous economic downturns have often led to decreased enrollment in the disciplines loosely grouped under the term “humanities” — which generally include languages, literature, the arts, history, cultural studies, philosophy and religion. Many in the field worry that in this current crisis those areas will be hit hardest."

What degrees do those above have?

What level of destruction are they engaged in?
