I hope that you are aware of the Facebook conversations this above article refers to. But, the ad campaign, unintentionally or not, is a blatant disregard to the struggles 99.9% of artist have to endure. That, for the most part, their entire student body have to endure. Where a majority of the student body are Pell Grant recipients, first generation college students and have to work weekends at Fed-Ex, in the middle of the night, wait tables during the evenings and work at Wendy's in the day just to be able to buy pens, pencils, paint and paper. Not every one has a trust fund or comes from a wealthy family, or were fortunate to graduate in the economic boom of the late 80's and 90's.
