complexity in academia

I could name many schools that are almost anti-complexity
these days. Michigan, Yale, Princeton, Juilliard, Eastman, Yale . . .
You pretty much get crap if you ARE complex at these places, these days...

I mean, come on. These complaints were maybe valid 30 years ago, but not
today. (Except for maybe at San Diego . . .but that's California for
you :) ).

Somebody should be writing a book about how universities have GONE SOFT
and Blaaa. Universities should be a HAVEN for the HARD-CORE: ANY
hard-core, whether it's minimalism, alternate tuning, complexity,
simplicity, whatever . . . . . right now, they're just a HAVEN for THE
LAME.
