I don't see anyone on that list with a Psych or HCI background (that I'm aware of, anyway)—they're all designers and coders.
But hey, less-than-thorough curriculum is not the only problem with school faculties. I know someone who teaches Flash classes at SVA that wouldn't qualify for a job as a commercial Flash developer. He can run his own company and get clients, sure, but he'd never get past the interviews I used to run. I've also met many AI graduates who walked away with a diploma and no idea how to use FTP. (Professors with out-of-date knowledge is a very common problem—though, that's obviously not the case for this new MFA.) -r- ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
