- More negative press for the University of Southern California. Earlier this year, the entire first year class MFA class dropped out of the program, citing an array of broken promises by the school’s administration. Now, the unofficial blog they set up in protest has been taken down the school’s administration.

The students have set up another blog under a slightly different address that thus far has not been removed. [Hyperallergic]
