<p>“The gift, the largest ever in the nation to an arts and design school, was formally accepted by the Board of Regents during its regular meeting Thursday.”</p>

<p>oh thank god, the art is well funded</p>

<p>I can now sleep easy</p>

<p>Get out your iPod & your iPhone. Do you like they way they look? That’s Art & Design.</p>

<p>Without art, there would be no civilization as we know it today.</p>

<p>After so many recent cuts in funding to the arts all across the country, it’s encouraging to see something like this.</p>

<p>I agree with entenduintransit. I love the fact that Michigan takes programs such as Architecture, Art, Music, Nursing etc… so seriously. It is precisely this commitment to academic diversity that makes Michigan so special. </p>

<p>Besides, if Art were truly not an important field, why do so many elite universities work hard at maintaining world-class programs? Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, NYU, Penn, Texas-Austin, UCLA, Wisconsin-Madison and Yale to name a few.</p>
