From the article: "if your criteria are productivity, efficiency and consumer satisfaction, it makes perfect sense to withdraw funds and material support from the humanities". I think I've said it before: if we'd let engineers design our homes we'd all be living in barracks. Education isn't supposed to be about about creating jobs alone. I for one hope that the current economic crisis & utilitarian backlash doesn't strip away all funding for the arts & humanities.
