...several years, there has existed an ideological rift between members of the visiting committee, who believe the GSD should place more curricular emphasis on professional skills in certain departments, and President Bok and the GSD administrators, who want to integrate the study of social problems such as community politics, land financing and government regulation. It is difficult for someone outside the field of architecture to judge the strengths of each argument. But instead of seeking to evaluate the validity of the divergence, the Overseers are apparently choosing to ignore it, perhaps hoping for a more complimentary--and confidential--report next...

This year, however, a rift has opened in the organization and the two are engaged in a real cat fight, Palladino pulling about a quarter of their joint constituency away to start a new group, United ROAR. The factionalism may explain much of the calm this fall; certainly Palladino has lost much of her native...
