| Abstract | This document examines the events surrounding a controversial art exhibit that was held at Santa Fe Community College (SFCC), Gainesville, Florida, in 2002. The author asks the following questions: (1) What is the role of the arts on a community college campus? (2) What are a community college arts program's responsibilities to the Fine Arts and Humanities students, the student body as a whole, and the larger local community? (3) Who should select the artists and works to be exhibited or performed and on what grounds should these selectors base their decisions? (4) What is the best pedagogical approach to artwork that may offend community standards? (5) What are the rights and responsibilities surrounding academic freedom and artistic expression in the community college? (6) How can diversity of opinions and beliefs be respected? and (7) Is there a way to balance responsible academic freedom and community standards with access to controversial information? The SFCC administration supported the exhibit, which examined violence in religious and sexual imagery. At the same time, the administration collaborated with the community by providing forums that allowed expression of diverse opinions. The author concludes that the administration acted in defense of institutional values. (Contains 50 endnotes.) (NB) |
