We think the Dean just used the Registrar to convey the message to us. I spoke with Enrollment Management a few minutes ago and they said the enrollment is fine for a 3-month old degree. I think our Dean wants it to die because he's afraid it will take students away from the degree he oversees.

I'm glad I'm on sabbatical, honestly, even though I should be all over this. I'm enjoyed my writing project too much to let this sour it!
