who will replace Stockholder, Halley, and Papageorge at Yale?

The inside story is that the new Dean of the School of Art is a terrible administrator and as a result most heads quit.

The old head of the photography graduate program complained about the poor treatment the sculpture head and others received; he was fired, others quit. I've heard directly from one senior person directly involved that the Dean is impossible to get along with, despite the seemingly "nice" and "bookish" appearance, and he directly caused the exodus. This is a shame since it represents complete dismanteling of one of the top art schools.

New dean? I thought Robert Storr was still the dean.

I heard that taryn simons albino tiger escaped during a class and stalks the dept eating students - I wouldn't let it put you off though

Some call it dismantling; others call it cleaning house. I suspect that's why Yale brought in Storr several years back. I just wonder what took him so long.

I can imagine that Storr is hard to get along with. He's highly opinionated and does not suffer fools kindly. Not particularly diplomatic from what I can tell. But there's something great about his willingness to drop all the bullshit.

okay ya'll - Rob Storr is not hard to get along with. the end
