University Degree Programs in Theatre for Youth

Universities secretly HATE to have web visitors! To this end they change, hide, obscure, their departmental web addresses at every opportunity, working very hard to render all online links as "bad". Artslynx HATES this practice and will permanently de-link university pages that practice this musical-chairs form of web design. University pages that are not linked are sites that once worked but have been de-linked when the University elected to arbitrarily change their web address. I will entertain requests to re-link but at a fee. My policy is to offer Artslynx services to all for free, but not for those whose mission seems to make more work for those of us trying so hard to be supportive of arts efforts. Interestingly, I have had NO TAKERS for such re-links. It seems that University webmasters never surf the net themselves to see how their actions have de-linked their pages world-wide.
