I think you could do things like introduce inter-disciplinary majors which combine philosophical, statistical, and scientific principles with the humanities. A philosophy of science course where people read Karl Popper and apply him is to current debates is very valuable. That method exposes students to the history of the topic, the methodology of science, and its applicability. If they read Popper there, they might read Popper on their own. But who wants to train people who understand Popper enough to design a course with those aims? That's why the myopia of these curriculum debates come in. The particular richness of Western culture is the ability to free associate seemingly disparate subjects and see how they relate. I'd rather never lose that ethic.
