I am not sure why people are making such a big deal about it

For starters, there's the emotional side of it. There's nothing more painful for parents than watching their children suffer. (That's something you really won't understand fully until you're a parent.)
Then, there's the practical side of it:
Tuition and fees: $4,494 in-state, $13,678 out-of-state
Room/board: $7,460
Books and supplies: $780
Transportation: $570
Personal expenses: $2,420
Many (most?) of the classes will not transfer to a non-BFA degree program, yet the timing of the cuts essentially ensures that the affected students will not be able to transfer into other audition-based BFA programs. Not a good financial situation for most parents to find themselves in.
