Is it even possible to fund a university major-by-major? Kind of a weird idea. The same class might be used for multiple majors, or minors, people switch majors, the administrative staff would presumably need to be fully paid for regardless of whether there’s a gender studies major, etc.

If they were thinking of providing more government funding for scholarships for the majors they think they need more of as a state, it would be both easy to manage and morally absolutely fine. But spoilers, Mississippi is not considering providing additional money towards education.
