Press Conference Audio

[jimdahl]

Just listened to the Press Conference Audio. I don't quite have the time to summarize it more thoroughly, but you can listen to it. Rest assured the following questions were asked/answered:

• Why now when the school didn't want to move 5 years ago?
  
• Why the extra year instead of exploratory now?
  

The general answers to the first two were: funding / external committments.

When asked about conference affiliation he said we wouldn't be moving if we didn't think we'd be able to find a conference (but no one promised that we'd have a conference a year and a half from now or he better be looking for a new job )
