This is weird, Eric. I concur with cris's version of events. If what
Ann told you is true, it happened without our knowledge and certainly
without our support.

As a result, the Low-Res proposal did not go forward to the Council of Academic Deans.   Ann then contacted other schools around the state (members of RAGS), who assured her that all of their MFA programs had their homes in CAS.   Ann relayed this information to the people in the School of Fine Arts approximately two weeks ago, but they haven't responded.
