It strikes me as those in the Arts trying to make themselves appear more relevant by forcing themselves onto to coat-tails of STEM. The thing is, the Arts are extremely important to humanity, and heavy-handed attempts like this just serve to cheapen their image.
- throwahey 9y agoI also get this impression, but with my university for example, they all but shut down departments that were non STEM related. We weren't a particularly notable institution, so the administration decided to focus their efforts on engineering fields to set us apart. I don't imagine this sat well with the faculty and students outside of STEM but it may also be that there is a downward trend of people willing to spend the money on a liberal arts degree, and that threatens the livelihood of those who rely on it's existence.
