Since we're talking about dangerous men in art schools... If you're a woman going to Ringling, or planning on going to Ringling, stay the FUCK away from Chris Shaffer.

I would also like to add that he knew about my bad financial situation. One time I walked into the office and he, unprovoked, offered to buy me groceries. It front of all of my peers and coworkers. It was absolutely fucking devastating.

Let me give more info. He constantly spreads private student health information to other students or staff without consent. A lot of the time the information is assumed. THIS IS ILLEGAL.

Shaffer blackmailed me. He offered me a job because he knew I was in financial trouble. He was fully aware that if I lost my RA job that I would have to drop out and I would not graduate. Because he knew this about me, he used me as a pawn to do illegal shit.

He made anti-trans remarks to me. He would say she/he/it about trans students. He made anti-poor remarks to me. He would openly talk about how poor students shouldn't attend Ringling.
