I'm not sure if "faculty" is the word you would want to use in this case. Typically it refers to the people teaching at a school, rather than the students. But maybe things are different in the art world. I'm not sure.
@Esper Pretty standard for Uni even from a student perspective, IMO. Not even an art thing really though maybe more so art side or something?
I've certainly heard Faculty used like that, at least.
@lastKANAshimi And I'm coming from a US perspective. In my elementary through college years, we were all referred to as students. Teachers were faculty, but so was anyone that worked at the school that wasn't a teacher, including office staff, daycare, even the janitor.
Personally I've actually heard faculty in both forms, the one Esper's talking about in highschool and earlier, the other in college/uni. Anyways, they're like... slightly different in nuance too? More than just the being more broad, though also that. But I'm having trouble trying to define exactly what it is.
Anyways, likewise I'm American and all that, Oregon specifically, shrug. Either way I've heard it used how she's using it in real life so I don't think it's inaccurate particularly, personally.
