Well I can confirm today that it was indeed voted to close the Institute of Aviation, an over 65 year old aviation program. I could spend hours and hours here explaining the lunacy and ignorance of this decision but honestly don't feel like it. I just hope everyone reads articles very carefully and sees that this is a major loss to the Aviation community. As with most major decisions, the circumstances surrounding them are extremely complicated.
