SFAI union busting

[thehypercookie]

What will this mean to people who are trying to apply to this school? Will they have lower quality education for a higher price? Is it worth it to apply to SFAI anymore?

I am heartbroken to hear that Charles Boone was laid off. He was one of the first instructors I had the pleasure to learn from at SFAI in 2001 - 2005, not to mention one of the greatest influences in my life conceptually and musically.

Ugly ugly... the administration hasn't changed since the days of Roy Ascot & Co.  How can a school of 600 require an administrator who earns $333K per year? Sad.

The Admin's at SFAI now are behaving collectively in a manner most would consider FASCIST. The students will now begin paying very high legal costs to defend these actions by the Administration. Good Tuition money at work-

Keep those "old" Faculty - they have wisdom. It is a sad world when people from the Administration ask students: "Why would you WANT to study with someone OLD?" (for real) Thank you Outraged Students - and those who do not care - let your good tuition $ pay legal fees!

This is astonishing. As an SFAI graduate (MFA 1997) I am EXTREMELY disappointed and dismayed that my beloved alma mater has fallen into such disarray. I know the times are tough, but I mistakenly thought that the arts would be a safe haven for free expression, support, and creativity. The students are being ripped off when the high quality professors are being under-paid or worse fired. All alumni need to stand up to the dismantling of what was the finest art school i the nation.
