The source on "7.6 percent of bachelor’s degrees were granted in the humanities in 2010" seems flimsy. The Chronicle links to the NYT, and the NYT links to a blog (and not even a specific post). The numbers here[1] I think are trustworthy. For those who can't be bothered, it says 16.8% of all Bachelors' conferred in 2010 -- more than double 7.6% (and according to the same source, around the same as that in the 70s). So I don't know if the liberal arts "are not where the action is these days". There's certainly still a lot of people going into them.
