McMurray said Kvet wanted him to teach music appreciation classes to non-music majors. McMurray said he felt doing so would be stifling. He said after he finishes this semester, he will not return. McMurray said he doesn't know what he will do with his free time. He said he has been contemplating early retirement for some time.
Tenure is kind of like a narcotic.
McMurray said Loyola has an obligation to the Catholic church. He said he is also concerned with the lack of Roman Catholic influence in the music faculty. McMurray said the many students in the department who are involved in church activities are not given the attention the jazz and opera students get. Kvet said he agrees that the school places most of its emphasis on jazz studies and opera training. He also said the string education is one of the largest programs in the country.
