The report urges more exhibits and performances, off campus arts exposure, faculty support, and a campus FM station, plus ongoing art education beyond classrooms. It notes strained facilities as enrollment rose 30 percent, with overcrowded rooms and unsuitable large spaces like Parker Auditorium and Long Gym for classes.
