I think especially STEM students should have lib arts requirements.

100%. Some of the most useful courses that I took were either electives or simply did not count toward my major. Specifically: a logic course, a course about the history of socialism, and a writing course (including research papers)

Critical thinking and logic 101 (syllogistic logic) were infinitely valuable, imo. I think critical reading should also be required.

STEM advisors: "oh yeah, I can override that requirement."

lib arts requirements.

There must be better ways.

Not exactly, but the respondent to my question gave a really good answer I think can probably be extrapolated, somewhat.
