Mike,
Thank you for the heads-up on this sad news. Is the decision purely based
on financial and funding issues? Do you believe that the university had all
pertinent information before them when they made this decision? So much is
going on in the US and the world that I am surprised that the university is
taking itself out of the loop.

Best regards,
Cynthia Waddell
