The department of sculpture was once great but due to the loss of its faculty and a new administration it is unsafe. The former technician who does not even have an art degree is the chairperson of the department. people are seriously injured weekly. toxic iron casting techniques that have been banned by federal law are used anyways endangering the health of everyone exposed. students are often robbed or assulted on campus includding myself. i was assulted with a deadly weapon, a small firearm. the students and teachers taunt each other in an unprofessional way. there is extreme racism, sexism, and homophobia aroudn the school. The faculty ofen uses illegal narcotics with the students. there is an overall negative attitude on campus. The student body is lathargic, degraded and looked down upon by the administration as dollar signs. The harsh environment gave me and several other students post-traumatic stress disorder. The campus food is natorious for giving people food poisoning. If you are vegetarian or vegan prepare for a struggle. The city is culturally dead. The school owned apartments were shot up by automatic weapons twice at the beginning of the fall 2005 semester.
