-After the move to the School of the Arts, students were concerned about the future of the Arts Initiative. Organized by [[Barry Weinberg]], CC'12, and [[Aries Dela Cruz]], GS'09, the Advocates for the Arts Initiative petitioned to install an advisory committee and in general greater transparency around the move. <ref> http://www.columbiaspectator.com/2009/11/05/arts-initiative-moves-school-arts </ref> After these efforts were unsuccessful, the issue lay dormant for a number of years and Melissa Smey was appointed director. Things with the Arts Initiative slowly deteriorated until Fall 2012, where the Advocates of the Arts Initiative came back for round two, this time led by [[Will Hughes]], CC'13. Their petition reached 1300 signatures but ultimately was unsuccessful in achieving their goals of a move out of the School of the Arts and a new director, but got the advisory committee promised some three years earlier by Dean Carol Becker of the School of the Arts. <ref> http://www.columbiaspectator.com/2012/11/06/1200-students-alums-sign-save-arts-initiative-petition </ref> <ref> http://savetheartsinitiative.org/ </ref> Said advisory committee meets twice a semester. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together can recognize this committee as probably unlikely to result in any real change to the already circling the toilet Initiative. Given that all the students who remember a functional, responsive Arts Initiative have now graduated, and the School of the Arts won the PR fight to make it seem like things were changing in response to the hooplah, things are not looking up for CUArts.
