If that question is nagging you, it's because you created it in your own mind. I haven't seen anything posted from Ted or anyone else that this termination is for budget concerns. Ted posted that the exact words in the letter were:
This letter is to inform you that your appointment at the University of Oklahoma School of Music will not be renewed following the completion of your responsibilities with the Tuba-Euphonium Workshop, June 22-28, 2003. Ken Fuchs, Director
Again, unsubstantiated rumors and speculation only make the situation worse, especially for Ted. But, you did say it was a dumb question.
