“The School of Fine Arts at Ouachita Baptist University is proud to have one of our own as the nominee to head the National Endowment for the Arts,” said Scott Holsclaw, dean of the School of Fine Arts. “I can think of no one better suited to lead our nation in the pursuit of artistic development and arts initiatives throughout our country. We wish Dr. Chu the very best in her pursuit of continuing the outstanding work of the National Endowment for the Arts.”

She has also served as an executive for two charitable organizations, the Kansas City Community Foundation and the Kauffman Fund, before being hired to lead the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts.

Chu has authored the children's book "Joy's Discovery," which is about growing up as an Asian-American child.

The National Endowment for the Arts should be defunded and not one more dime of taxpayer money spent by them!

Deborah Sandler, CEO and general director of the Lyric Opera of Kansas City, said the possibility of someone from the heartland leading the NEA is significant. Established in 1965, the NEA works with various agencies —from local to national —to support arts education and innovation; its annual budget is around $140 million.

“I’ve sat on a lot of NEA panels, and nobody has ever said this … but there is something of a perception that the most innovative and dynamic work is happening on the coasts,” Sandler said. “And that leaves everybody else out of the conversation. I think it will be interesting to have someone from smack-dab in the middle of the country at the NEA.”

My fellow Kansas Citians are enamored with a local being named NEA chair, but Dr. Chu would be much better off remaining the Kauffman Center CEO and foregoing the embarrassment of joining the Little Marxist Dictator's team. She is an outstanding administrator and, from all indications I have of her, a good Christian woman. I wish she'd tell the dictator "No!" and stay put. I agree with OR, the NEA should be defunded, decommissioned, debunked, debugged, defragged, and de- ... ran out of 'em, but you get the idea.
