"Hall is also a CCA comics professor and former chair of the Comics MFA program, which he helped develop with fellow artist Matt Silady, who established the Comics curriculum at the college back in 2008. "And with everything that's going on these days in higher education... The Comics program is very radical and queer by nature which, let's just say, doesn't seem to be very valued at the moment.""
"It's one of only a couple such accredited offerings in the country, despite comics' exploding popularity (see: all those dang Marvel movies). Lately, the growing program has been establishing international ties-manga study in Japan, for instance. "The dream is that Vanderbilt recognizes how important this program is, and maintains all that we and the students have built together," said Hall."
Vanderbilt University purchased California College of the Arts, prompting uncertainty about which arts programs will be preserved when the school becomes part of Vanderbilt in 2027. Faculty and students face immediate questions about course offerings, degrees, and how to plan lives in one of the world's most expensive cities. CCA Comics offers BFA and MFA degrees, core curriculum, Bay Area-rooted history, and growing international ties such as manga study in Japan. The Comics program is described as radical and queer by nature, raising concern about institutional support. A free Pride in Panels festival aims to boost local morale with over 100 creators and events.
