I think STEM should remain STEM. Of course there are aspects of Art in STEM, just as much as there is business, community service, writing, etc. - there are hundreds of things that go into STEM or complement it, and to include everything that might have an impact on it in the acronym would make for a very long acronym.
I view the acronym as different fields of majors. Few colleges require a mechanical engineer or a physicist to take an art course, or otherwise place a major focus on art as part of the degree. Including the very broad field of "art" is saying that we should include the humanities in the acronym as well, which takes up the remaining majors, which defeats the purpose of having the STEM acronym in the first place.
Just my opinion on the subject.

P.S. I'm not sure why people are arguing over the word "subjective". I get that you disagree that there are no subjective elements in FIRST, but there's no point in spending half a page over trying to convince one person of that.
