Student tuition may be financing much more than students' actual in-class experience, according to a report on how college tuition is spent by colleges released by the Delta Cost Project, a Washington-based non-profit group that seeks to increase education affordability, on Thursday. The project's data showed that research, public outreach and financial aid actually have the fastest-growing budgets, even though these areas are not directly related to students' experience in the classroom. The project also found that despite constantly increasing tuitions and enrollment rates, the percent of degree completion in the United States has not increased and ranks near the bottom of industrialized nations. The rate of degree completion in the United States was 54 percent in 2007, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, while the average for all industrialized countries was 74 percent.

Oliver Grau, an image science professor at Danube University in Austria, discussed the importance of the digital humanities, a discipline devoted to the study of digital art like computer graphics, animation and nanotechnology, in a lecture held in Kreindler auditorium Tuesday. "Digital art has become the art of our time, yet it has not arrived in the cultural institutions of our societies," Grau said, explaining that the genre has yet to be accepted into the mainstream of art history. Like traditional painting and sculpture, digital art requires historical analysis to be fully understood, he said. Grau stressed that digital art is useful to many non-art disciplines like astronomy, which uses virtual observatories to compile centuries worth of celestial studies. Digital art's broad applicability is one reason why it must be documented and preserved, said Grau, who initiated the documentation process by creating the first digital art database. "The survival of virtual art depends entirely on digital storage methods. It is our responsibility to leave something for future generations," he said.
