In a statement, Schaeffer did not address the allegations, instead saying: “I hope that the next generation of leaders can weather the many storms our profession faces. To do so, it needs to pull together, dedicate itself to the work, and avoid the toxic polarization that damages not just the institutions, but the work itself, the art.”
What an incredibly insensitive statement to make in this context. Given that it seems HE needs to pull HIMself together, etc. Maybe more dedication to his work would have helped, and avoiding toxic behaviors that did damage his institution, his work, and his art. |
