Visions of the future are moot without any practical support for them in hiring, assistantships, etc, I believe. I hope Dean Callahan will really support English and Liberal Arts against Business-model running of this place by Provosts, etc.

We also support the athletic dept's losses of $14/year. Until academics and a liberal education are restored to some respected core in Miami's mission for itself, any fantasies for the future of the dept will remain mostly fantasies, or conducted on the paradigm of what we don't have to jettison over the side of the lifeboat. I prefer to get off (as I've said before) this Raft of the Medusa. Expect further erosion of Literature at the expense of "practical" money-making programs in the future. The way of all liberal arts schools...

I can also arrange a sitter and we can meet at 6pm or so on one of those two Tuesday evenings, though if possible I'd rather not because I travel out the next day.
