The WSU Theatre and Dance Department expected some cuts coming in the new budget.

The Daily Evergreen picks the story up here:

All the students in the Department of Theatre and Dance received notice of an emergency 1 p.m. meeting on Thursday at Wadleigh Theatre.

Knowing that the university’s budget was expected to be announced today, the students braced for possible cuts of various positions within the department.

Theatre instructor Ray Pritchard’s first words struck like a death blow.

“The College of Liberal Arts has completely cut the theatre and dance (department),” he said.

It's interesting to ponder whether all those folks up in arms at Brandeis would rather they cut that college's theatre department rather than sell off the Rose art collection . . .
