Yes, it should be allowed. It's going to be involved in the workplace within the field, then it should be used in college as well.

Again, same comment as the above. There are certain shows where such is required. If someone is not comfortable doing so, then it's the directors right to reject such a person.

Depends on the show, and what the artist is trying to convey. Nudity projects more of a vulnerability in artists that underwear doesn't. I think underwear gives more of a sexuality than full nudity -- ironically. But that's just me (and I think the way culture sexualizes lingerie, underwear, etc.).
