Wow. If there's a chance 112 will be nixed for AY 2014-15, I hope we
find out before we do admissions. I can't see how it won't mean
halving the number of GAs, and perhaps we'd get even fewer if 111
isn't distributed evenly across fall and spring semesters -- that is,
we might have classes for GAs only in fall. Seems pretty dire for
English grad programs.
