    I see a lot of comments about artist getting “real jobs” and how art school is stupid. I find it funny that you never hear people refer to sports in the same way. Sports are effectively “useless” to society and the overwhelming majority of people who take part in sports never go on to play professionally. Yet we encourage every level of sports because we understand in order to reach the excellence of professional sports, there needs to be an entire infrastructure of high school, college and community athletics. It’s the same things with art. If you enjoy art at any level, music, movies, graphic design, that is a direct product of art schools and art infrastructure.

    UArts student here. Upsetting to see all these comments with little to no empathy telling us to "get real jobs" when this situation is literally not about that. We lost our education out of the blue and the school has left us with so much uncertainty of where we're going to go and the fear of if we can still get an education and graduate like everyone else. The school's lack of communication with all of the students and staff has been so unprofessional and upsetting.

My heart goes out to all the students who now have to find a new school. And to the other students who just got accepted to that school, were planning to fly there to start their first semester, and now have to find another school.
