Kim,
You don't seem to realize that most University art departments do force all their students and faculty to wear modernist burkas.
They have steadfastly sabotaged each and every attempt to bring traditional realism into their departments, along with the disciplined and codified programs needed to train artists in that tradition.
Sure! You can find a few exceptions. But they are few and far between.
