I also mean that the general regard and esteem associated with a humanities major has declined. There are a number of factors involved but I think that the general public perception of a typical liberal arts education is that the education is deeply compromised by the lack of intellectual diversity and rigor.
Yes there are many other degrees held in higher esteem. If there has been a decline in the esteem of the liberal arts (something I've not witnessed), blaming it on "lack of intellectual diversity" is just silly.
