The scorn heaped on "Underwater Basket Weaving" was based on college courses in experiential indigenous anthropology. Reeds are traditionally softened underwater to make them flexible for bending into baskets. It's a more useful skill for most than memorizing the 3 orders of ancient Greek columns.
The other issue is when those electives ARE core reqs, students are often presented with a number of options to fulfill it without much regard for what the student is supposed to learn: an Art and Culture core req could be anything from Music 101 to Art History to Underwater Basket Weaving.

Hi friends. Can you do me a small favor. My friend Mohamed is going through it and he can’t share his campaign right now—and only 3 of us do so regularly.
His family is currently eating spoiled flour. Can we get 200 to help alleviate this even a little?

Help Mohammed's family bear the heavy burdens of life in Gaza
We write to you with hearts filled with sorrow and despair. I am Mohammed, writing on behalf of my family from our tent, where we shiver in the bitter cold of winter after our home was destroyed…
