Hmm, UVSC does sound like an interesting alternative.
On the other hand, I think it'd be awesome if BYU would let EUOL teach a TLE class. I agree that the editors/designers-in-the-making who benefit from TLE really are the raison d?êtra of the magazine.
Yet I can see why UVSC might prove a more, um, enlightened place for relocation. A couple weeks ago, my writing teacher confided to me that prospective MFA faculty members are always asked what their "policy" is on teaching or workshopping SF. Yep, I can't say it was incredibly surprising, but it *does* explain why the only SF-inclined prof (Uppinder Mehan) didn't get tenure.
However, back to the issue at large.... even if UVSC embraced TLE, I'd still be ticked that BYU's students would have a lesser chance of participating. I'll sit down and write a polite letter myself--just as soon as I finish moving tomorrow.
In fact, an hour ago I packed all my issues of TLE. *sigh* (Stacer, you're moving too? I hope it's to a better/cheaper place!)
