<p>@actingsir, I am not going to tell you who he struck off the list as this was a personal kind of process he went through and his reasons were truly his own. What was important to him was the faculty be relevant, that they were still in the creative process, still writing, directing, acting, etc. He also reached out to certain department heads to see if he was the kind of actor they were looking for and they had the type of program he was looking for as well. In the end, the program he chose was not the conservatory style he thought he wanted, and it was through this process he discovered what he was looking for as much as anything. This did give him some feeling of control in a process where the student has very little.</p>
