American universities being fairly conservative architecturally is hardly a new development. Look at how popular faux-Gothic is at any Ivy League school. They are all full of modern buildings trying to look like Oxbridge.

Absolutely, it's not a new thing. I don't mean to be implying it's a new development, or limited to these schools. Just expressing how sad and frustrating it can feel as an architecture student at a good university. It's talked about a lot among students, and I liked this article for sharing it among a wider audience.
