Kudos to this architect for standing up to this, but my question is, why does standing up to completely obvious monstrosities like this take any courage at all?
Perhaps this is nothing new and just exactly what "The Emperor's New Clothes" is all about. That is, any non-affiliated person could easily say "You want to house 4,500 students in a windowless prison because some billionaire gave you about 14% of the financing?" but somehow the administrators in charge of this are pushing, pushing, pushing.
I think I'm just a little depressed thinking of all the recent cases that seem to me like they should be easy, clear cut moral questions where assumably smart, good people throw out their morals in a heartbeat because $.
