Your report on the demise of the Trenton Arts Program was disheartening. This program brought Trenton-area middle and high school students to campus Saturday mornings, and the cost to the University was only $250,000 annually. This is less that the University spends on providing a free education to just one of the hundreds of students who receive full financial aid, many of whom go on to lucrative Wall Street jobs. Could we not forgo one of these full-boat Wall Street scholarships and continue to enrich the lives of our neighbors in Trenton?
