This comes in the backdrop of a statement by the Education CS late last year that Helb should increase funding for students pursuing science courses to the chagrin of arts students. To fragment arts and sciences in this manner denigrates the important role art plays in society. As such, a reduction of funding for the arts would be tantamount to making learning less accessible to the majority. To fragment the arts and sciences further through starving the former of funds is to place an injunction against the advancement of the intersectionality and interoperability of the arts and sciences – something the world is just starting to embrace. A reduction in funding for the arts will further reduce the space to practice the arts.
