Is SCAD a scam?

I’ve been really skeptical of SCAD, and after this article, I’m out. If I get rejected from my top choice, my plan is to transfer in, and I think if I went to SCAD they would try to prevent me, so they get my tuition. I can’t even imagine the threats they make to students who want to transfer out. Thank you @DadInTx for helping me make my decision!
