It's very possible that fine art education in general has declined the same way liberal arts education overall has declined and for the same reasons (too much free money from grants and Boomer culture spamming "Get yer degree or you'll flip burgers forever!" instead of actually parenting and mentoring) but that some schools focusing on animation still stress the basics of fine art.
It's also possible that fine arts education is improving, who knows. The more Boomers die off and exit any given industry, the more that industry can improve and thrive.
