Jun 21 2012: Art, literature, etc--are not outdated like Latin.
Who speaks pure Latin anymore--though it is the root of the romantic languages.
Art and literature are still with us---it's just a shame that they may not be offered as degrees because art curators, museum keepers---Literature critics and teachers may become a very small niche of jobs for the future.
Jun 21 2012: Because of the rising cost of a higher education---the burden to learn independently will be on the student. No classroom----just assignments, online tests, computerized test results. You get the material or you don't.
The "classical"--literature, the arts--etc will be elective classes--not degrees.
I do not see a problem with the federal government grooming the next generation workforce by only subsidizing degrees that will fulllfil future employment demands. A viable workforce is the key to economic success. We must keep up with the global market.
It's a shame that learning the arts,classes in diversity, literature, history will become a luxury.
