Should The Arts Be Sacrificed?

Should The Arts Be Sacrificed?

The arts industry is overlooked and the least prioritised during this tough time. The latest one to be affected is the music department of New Jersey University. The university is closing it down due to budget cuts caused by the pandemic. Looking at the bigger picture, we raise the question if arts should be sacrificed in favour of other industries as the world recovers from Covid-19.
