- vampirical 16y agoThanks for the additional context, definitely helps paint a better picture of the situation. The money quote for me was this: Maeda has been President of the University since 2008, when he took over the position from Roger Mandle — the longest-serving president in the school's history — who stepped down after receiving a vote of no confidence from RISD department heads in 2007. Mandle, like Maeda, came under fire by faculty members after proposing significant changes to the structure of the traditional RISD curriculum and accompanying financial decisions.
