I just found this on Facebook through editor/author Ellen Kushner. It's just one more step in the legitimization and mainstream acceptance of fantasy literature, and I thought you all might like to know about it. Personally, if I had the money and travel expenses, I probably would consider studying there myself. Oh well.

So what do think about it?

Well, on the one hand, I think it's interesting from an intellectual standpoint. On the other, I hope no kids get suckered into taking out tens of thousands in debt to study something like this. I'm sure there will be a lot of interesting discussions, though.
I thought I saw a unicorn on the way here, but it was just a horse with one of the horns broken off.
