Every now and then, a student or faculty member from the early to mid-1990s will resurrect issues they had with the college over 15 years ago.

At the time the school had significant problems. It was NOT a good time for anyone - the students, the faculty, and the Rowans/Poetters - from 1992 to 1996. ALL three groups acted maliciously and/or irresponsibly toward the others. People were hurt personally, and professionally. In all likelihood, LALondonNY is from this period, and may have been adversely affected.

If anyone wants to read a scathing article about these years, just Google “lingua franca scad”, and read “Sinister Designs”. The article paints a brutal and one-sided picture, but it does provide an account of the turmoil in which the college was immersed. I arrived in Savannah in 1994 and experienced the tail end.

LALondonNY, calls me a shill, yet I have no reason to be one. I saw much of what happened (15+ years ago), my butt was fired from the college as a faculty member, and because of a standard clause in the separation agreement, I cannot step foot on SCAD property or attend a SCAD function nor get an alumni card. I’m a little hurt by that, but I refuse to be bitter because so many very very very good things happened for me while I was there.

The past is the past. It is not the present nor the future, yet some people cannot disconnect the past from the present. It’s a shame. I don’t post here to promote the college; I post here to respond to accusations that are either false or irrelevant because the college has grown, evolved, matured, etc.
