I'd like society to recognize the difference between the two, and to
eliminate the latter from the publicly funded educational system.

Do you also want to eliminate poetry from publicly funded education
system? I mean it's not like writing computer program manuals which is
the "applied" writing skill. Should theater arts be also eliminated?
I would assume that history departments don't usually have much actual
application either. How about anthropology? I would also doubt that
much theoretical physics is at all aplicable to something "useful".
I'm sure philosophy is totally unapplied and those damn philosophy
proessors should go make themselves useful and get a job at some fast
food place.

Or would you perhaps prefer a less drastic solution that mathematics
would move into the "arts" college (actually it is frequently in a
"arts and sciences" college already).

It would help if a distinction between ARTificial and scientific could
be made. I have posted an example where this can be done, but received
no responses so far:
