Cuts to the College of Fine Arts are part of a damaging trend - Daily Texan Editorial

Due to University-mandated budget cuts and a deficit within the College of Fine Arts, the school has been forced in the previous months to freeze admissions to some of its popular degree programs. The University’s musical theatre, music business and musical recording technology programs are among those affected. While this won’t affect students already in the programs, it will leave them inaccessible to future generations. The cuts have also eliminated ceramics and metal-working studios. In a city as arts-driven as Austin, the local community college shouldn’t be the only institution still admitting to music business and recording technology programs. http://www.dailytexanonline.com/2015/01/25/cuts-to-the-college-of-fine-arts-are-part-of-a-damaging-trend
