[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top schools expect to be educating the leaders of tomorrow. To that end, teaching liberal arts topics to help them be better thinkers about all the large questions challenging our world is important.
Critical thinking skills, an understanding of world history, religious beliefs, some math's, some arts, all of these things influence decisions made by leaders of all countries, organizations, industries, etc. 
Frankly, this is important in shaping people as productive and thoughtful citizens - which is probably why the US has been devolving as the meaning of educated person has been watered down.[/quote]

Are liberal arts majors the red headed step child these days? Is that what this is about? In the era of CS Engineering and Business majors taking the front seat for the last decade, are classics, history and gender studies majors feeling undervalued? (they are basically unemployable at graduation so they should feel that way…)[/quote]

That is why liberal arts colleges are eating up applicants who want to go into classics and the humanities. 
I'm not all that certain about gender studies and basket weaving though.[/quote]
