noo1776 - please make sure you know your facts when talking about Design Studio. Your comment that “MS Fargo has been developing Microsoft Dynamics largely in cooperation with the design studio of the Raikes School” is quite wrong. The role that Design Studio (DS) has played in the development of the Dynamics product is very small in the grand scheme of things.

There are way too many points in this thread to touch on, but I’ll just mention the faculty turnover. Some of the turnover has been the result of changes in curriculum, some has been the result of disagreement with the direction/material to be covered in the course, and whatever else. Just because a professor is some ‘Named’ professor or generic Chair of some department does not make them a good teacher anymore (or ever). The teachers that have been good (Elbaum/Goddard/etc) are well respected and have taught many courses over time.
