> Making art and humanities programs demonstrate some kind of pecuniary benefit is disgusting and myopic. My wife pursued English because she loves writing. She's earned about 0 dollars from that degree because she's home with our kids. And that's OK! Our lives are so much richer because of her degree—as well as the classes I took from the English department. So we should penalize the humanities because it merely makes people better thinkers and doesn't have as high of an ROI as an MBA? Yuck!

It's not a given that most arts/humanities programs are impacted. Just some arcane ones.

And while we're at it, they really should can the MFA programs. Most MFA programs exist just to milk money out of students.
