What is an MFA degree?
An MFA is a master’s degree that focuses on coursework in a specific artistic field, such as visual arts, performing arts, creative writing, or design. Many MFAs are considered terminal degrees, meaning that it’s the highest degree you can earn in that subject matter. As such, the degree often qualifies you to teach at the university level, in addition to pursuing other opportunities related to your field.

This is illegal. I'm shocked it was even a point of discussion. I'm not lambasting you. You were advocating for this person. Maybe this was many years ago where things like this were less regulated?
