Humanities don't need funding for expensive laboratories

i suppose so as long as all your humanities knowledge is already solved with no need to travel to new places, study new locations, or talk to new people

According to wikipedia, humanities neither include archeology nor sociology:

The humanities include the academic study of philosophy, religion, history, language arts (literature, writing, oratory, rhetoric, poetry, etc.), the performing arts (theater, music, dance, etc.), and the visual arts (painting, sculpture, photography, filmmaking, etc.)

There is no need to travel. The people who research are either there or can be reached via internet.

I mean sure sociology may not be classified as a humanities but archeology clearly is: "include the academic study of history" And sure maybe philosophers don't need to travel but what do you do when you're a historian and you need to consult historical records in another country? You are listing"the study of the performing art" how do you think people are studying these without going to the representations? And i may be biased because it's what i am currently studying but how are we supposed to study geography without travelling???

Geography is not in the list and archeology is not history.

If the college is created in a city then there are performances to visit.

History records have to be limited to scans for the first years.

In general, research can be limited to what is possible. The important part is the freedom of mind, not the freedom of resources.
