Problems at the BAC are so deep and broad as to be indescribable within this comment space. The relationship between the school and the professional community is such that it is politically and academically untenable students, teachers, or administration to reveal opinions that accurately reflect their experience. There are few substantive forms of accountability (or mechanisms by which to enforce accountability) upon the institution. One example of both the problematic and incestuous relationships and the lack of accountability can be found in this fact: within a few-year time span the President of the BAC was also the President of the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), a member of the Board of Directors of the the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA), and a member of the Board of Directors of the AIA. The institution is riddled with problems and highly dysfunctional.
