About This Blog

Dare to Dissemble is my little online ranting place, where I air my thoughts about the ridiculous state of affairs at the University of Alberta--a formerly strong public institution with tons of potential being driven into the ground by inept governance and irresponsible government funding policies. Comments are welcome, but not expected. Like most blogs on the internet, this one languishes in obscurity and is read for the most part by its proprietor.

Do the Arts Subsidize STEM Disciplines?

As a member of the Science faculty, I found this post on Crooked Timber to be very interesting and illuminating.  Admittedly, it concerns the British academic system, whose funding model is not identical to ours, but the underlying principles (esp. cost to deliver various subjects vs more or less uniform tuitions and fees) still apply.
