Funded by taxpayers?  Liberal Arts Degrees are fine   for those students who have influential parents that have their own businesses and have a nice comfortable job waiting for them upon graduation. The rest of us need a better return on the dollar now that the price of College has gone through the roof.   If you want to enrich your knowledge in the fine arts, fine, but you pay for it, not the taxpayers.   If you seek enlightenment on life how about requiring  the Catholic Faith to be taught at taxpayers expense.
