I'd have to make a statement to the contrary concerning the quality
of the music department at San Francisco State University. Due to the
education budget cuts to state-funded schools in California, SF State
took a serious hit and lost key faculty as a result of early retirements
and forced layoffs. Unless they've received grants and endowments over
the last 5 years, the department is probably in worse shape than when
I attended in the early 90's -- and it was pretty shabby back then
as it was.
