Critics of federal funding for liberal arts programs argue that these disciplines often focus on subjects that they see as less directly applicable to the job market and economic growth. They believe that taxpayer money should be directed towards programs that provide practical skills and lead to clear career paths, such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. They also argue that the liberal arts can sometimes promote political and social perspectives that are at odds with mainstream values.

Supporters of this view emphasize the importance of practical and job-oriented education. They argue that funding should be focused on areas that are seen as essential for economic development and national competitiveness. They believe that reallocating funds from liberal arts to more vocational or STEM-oriented programs could provide better returns on investment and better align with current job market demands.
