~DAVID A. ROSS / RESIGNS POST at SVA / in EPSTEIN FILES / MY ARCHIVAL PHOTO from 2019
DAVID A. ROSS .. had to resign his academic & leadership post at S.V.A./School of Visual Arts, NYC / this week, because his name was included in the EPSTEIN FILES, and NOT in a good way !! especially for a professional who dealt with mostly underage students or very young adults. Ross, also a museum curator, was most recently the Chair of the S.V.A. MFA art program. You can google the mainstream news for the gritty details, first reported by ARTnews.
HERE’S …. my archival photo of him, when our paths crossed upstate in 2019:
