Eighth College: Arts and Humanities Community Plaza
THIS IS A PARODY
At UC San Diego, non-STEM departments and students are not given the quality of facilities and resources given to STEM departments and its students. This project was made in an effort to express frustration and to bring attention to this problem.
At UC San Diego
The Undergraduate population is 56.3% STEM majors and 43.7% Arts & Humanities, Social Sciences, and other non-STEM majors (as of Fall Quarter 18-19).
Although this university is considered to be primarily STEM, non-STEM majors comprise a significant amount of the student populace.
STEM >
non-STEM
There is a social hierarchy that exists on this campus where STEM majors are treated as the superior individuals of the student population. However, this is not only a social notion; the feelings are validated by the physical environments on campus where we see that there is a clear inequality in resources and facilities.
