The depletion of the Visual Arts at Emory has been the saddest part of my time at the University. As a Visual Artist outside of the major, I have nearly zero access to the building, classes, etc. Through its actions, Emory has shown us where its priorities are-- but they should adjust their PR/Reputation to fit accordingly. We are not a strong liberal arts school-- we are a strong pre-professional school. Bring back the visual arts and we can turn that around. The only people ignorant to these shifts are the administration; Students on the ground feel the effects of these changes everyday and these changes inform how the student body feels towards Emory and its 'commitments'. Our school is turning into a homogeneous, pre-professional funnel-- and that is heartbreaking.

Diversification is needed to promote liberal arts education

Especially with all of the stressful high level academics here, students should get the opportunity to take a class that is relaxing and helps them express themselves.

I agree. Why are there more art history courses than art courses? It's cool to study an artist, but isn't it cooler to be one?
