stop translating 学部 as faculty it is literally wrong

Actually, I keep seeing people translate 学部 as 'faculty' and it makes zero sense. Faculty means the teachers. 学部 is literally 'study department' which refers to the undergraduate students. If you use it to talk about the staff, you are doing it wrong. I always use it to mean 'college major' because that is the actual real-world usage. Don't overcomplicate it.
