So,
the people who blew half a million swiss francs last year to attract five thousand visitors, and then proceeded to systematically destroy one of the best photography programs in the world have maintained their one competent side and are spending public money again. Why those schmucks haven't been run out of town, feathered and tarred, is beyond me.
Of course, having suffered through their mediocrity as as student, I'm not an unbiaised source regarding the level of nefarious idiocy that blesses those people, but maybe that the comments others, like A.D Coleman or Arno Minkkinen have made on places like www.fsphoto.ch or www.ou-t.ch could serve as additionnal pointers...
