In this document which indicates that these priorities are being
replaced with those of the market-place and as such, can only serve
to undermine the philosophy of the Fine Arts department. There is
also concern among the students that the criteria for entrance
Into the College will also reflect these ideologies and as such
result in the admittance of students who are likely to be 'success-
full’ in the monetary sense, which effectively negates an entire
philosophy of artistic development.

Furthermore, we question the priorities of this administration
in their role of art education and invite them to set forth their

policies to us, in written form.

In closing, we, the students of ECCAD oppose any expansion of
this institution which will serve to increase our indebtedness
to a government which traditionally views art as 'frivolous'.
This condition could only result in an appeasement situation on
the part of this administration, which will serve to undermine

existing programs, in favor of an ideology geared exclusively
to the market-place. ECCAD Student Society
