Back from the LACC meeting - apparently arts departments are now having to justify every single thing in their curriculum and now require said arts departments to have a meeting with an appointed board (which I guess I'm now on) of professionals who listen and give suggestions. As always happens at these sorts of things, two or three people end up doing all the talking (of the professionals) and it's usually all about them rather than the business at hand. I, in fact, did not open my mouth once until the final minute of the meeting.
