I was greeted by this tome telling all AoA students just when and where their classes would be for the coming academic year. Some would call this a class schedule. I call it a tremendous waste of trees. It’s something like 500 pages long, weighs a ton, packaged in thick, non-recyclable plastic sleeve, and was sent via UPS for some damned reason (tuition money to blow by the AoA I assume.) I guess putting it online would be like soooo 1998 or something.
Of course, if you have to include information with the classes such as which side of the jeans to wear your safety pins and your required Angst Level to attend a session, I suppose I can understand the length. Also, along with the empty princess limos they drive around the same path as the SF Muni lines, the poorly paid staff, the highly paid owner of the school, the illegal conversions of hotels in to student dorms, and their general “Fuck you and your little dog too” manner of doing business, it’s not a surprise that the AoA would take a dump on our forests as well. It wouldn’t be a shock if these schedules were also printed in child sweatshops just to, you know, round out the overall evil. All hail the red plague!

I hate what that school has done to this city.
Fucking hell. There’s no excuse for that. Oh well. Hey AoA students, next time you’re feeling all superior to people not living in San Francisco, my east coast, southern public school put its course schedule online back in 1998. Progressives…bah!
No, the course catalog is online too.
Damn, what’s with all the AAU hate?
In my book, it will always be the AoA. Tossing “university” on to the end of that thing tarnishes the actual universities out there. I mean, it only got accredited in 2005. It’s not like it has an amazing track record of being an actual school.
As to the hate, it’s a joke of a school that’s taking over the downtown of San Francisco. If you don’t live here, then you don’t see it. They bring nothing to the neighborhoods other than turning them in to student ghettos and the AoA is apparently accountable to no one.
For me it’s that they essentially closed the Red Room, and they put their ugly logo up huge everywhere.
