But your taxes are paying for it. Shouldn't classes paid for with your taxes yield a net benefit for society in the growth and outcomes for the students. If they don't do that, the taxes are failing to be used for the benefit of the taxpayer.

Is there a way to prove that African studies wouldn't benefit society as much as any other humanities based course?

When people evaluate the value of art they tend to do it through a biased lens, applying value to things that fit within their perceived scope of value. 

This ignores the economic potential of new growth in billion dollar industries. What is the economic value of African studies? Well it's the potential growth of capturing at least 13% of any media market.

 
As an example we can look at someone like Jordan Peele. A producer and director who's created hundreds of millions of growth by telling stories with the perspective of black Americans.
