Greg and Lindsay Sullivan now have concerns about his planned enrollment in a creative-writing program at Rutgers-Camden.
When the Rutgers-Camden acceptance letter arrived at his Nashville home, Greg Sullivan was thrilled.
Worried, too. Would it be wise to uproot himself, and his wife, to pursue a master’s degree in creative writing at a respected institution that could be merged into something unrecognizable – and unrecognized?
“I have concerns that some of my faculty [could] leave while I’m there or before I arrive,” says Sullivan, 27, a sportswriter for the Tennessean newspaper.
Lindsay Sullivan is finishing a nurse-practitioner program at Vanderbilt University. She wants to work in an urban hospital, and she and her husband are eager to sample what the East Coast has to offer.
