We can't really say that we didn't see this coming. Enrollment numbers in aviation programs has dwindled in the past couple years, causing many universities to shut down their programs all together. I suspect some hardcore lobbying and pleading to the FAA took place. These are colleges after all.
As for the whole finance vs. aviation thing. Yeah, it does kinda suck for those who chose to get a more stable backup degree while still pursuing a flying career. I still think they have the upper hand when it comes to financial stability in the long run though. My 2 ¢...

FAA Allows ASU Aviation Program Students To Reduce Flight-Time Before Graduation.
(2/15, Polletta, Arizona Republic) According to the Arizona Republic , the FAA considered the flight curriculum at Arizona State University Polytechnic “rigorous enough” to permit “a flight-time reduction for its students, allowing bachelor’s program graduates to serve as co-pilots after 1,000 hours vs. 1,500.” The head of the ASU aviation program, Mary Niemczyk, welcomed the decision, as “the reduction of the 500 hours allows our students to complete flight training and get to 1,000 hours by the time they graduate. They can do all that in four years. The additional 500 hours would take them another year or so.”
