Bruce Goff  

Being from Oklahoma i am always interested in architects who have made great contributions to the field. one in particular is Bruce Goff one time Dean at the University of Oklahoma school of Architecture

In his bio I read something very disturbing and I will spend the better part of tomorrow tracking down the truth of this statement
and i quote...

"From 1947 onwards, he was the dean of the University of Oklahoma school of architecture, where he became an extremely influential teacher. In 1956, the university’s Bauhaus fraternity hounded him out of office, and some of his preparatory sketches were burnt."
wiki states that Viewed with suspicion and contempt by many in the architectural community, Goff was caught up in a scandal in 1955 (a sexual relationship with one of his students) and lost his university position, and much of his reputation. It is still speculated today that Goff lost his position at the then conservative university because of his homosexuality.[citation needed] Nevertheless, Goff maintained a devoted group of students and clients and continued to design through the late 1970s. Today, Goff's contributions to the history of 20th-century architecture are widely praised. His extant archive--including architectural drawings, paintings, musical compositions, photographs, project files, and personal and professional papers--is held by The Art Institute of Chicago.

If this is true i find it horrifying that he would be treated like something out of Nazi Germany in Oklahoma in 1956

Does anyone have any info on this great architect , other than what you can find on google .
