Parsons' web site

check out their horrible HTML site,
http://www.parsons.edu
a worse site I've yet to see for a school with a good rep offering
classes in web design. Text without line breaks. A 12 year old
could see this is unreadable. It would appear their own teachers need
a lesson in design before teaching others.
[although their Flash site is pretty good]

Well I can't even visit the site as it's telling me I need an even newer version of Flash, which I
refuse to download, as Flash sites turn me off anyway.

Steve,

Why did you post this? Do you have a grudge against the developer?
Did they ask you to post for a critique?

What's your stuff like?

I posted this because I am in the market for schools which offer BA or BFA.
And Parsons is a famous school, however, as you can see judge from their site,
their developer needs to take a class.

Oh no, not another of those websites which *forces* you to scroll to read a tiny bit of text.

Why? Why? Why?

So? How does the quality of their web site relate to the quality of
their courses? Have a look at http://www.ox.ac.uk/ - probably one of
the best universities in the world, and one that Harvard and Yale aspire
to.
