Neil, what school emphasizes teaching?

I have say though, Pepperdine University was and perhaps does well in that because its main goal seems to be training teachers. Some schools that put an emphasis on education and sciences do better in teaching than fielding winning athletic teams, e.g., University of Chicago, or Northwestern, the whipping boy, athletically speaking, of the Big 10. I would say o some the Universities that have the word, "State" in their names in the Big 12 Conference have the blessings and curses of a Northwestern U.

You made some excellent points and even "religious" schools are wooed by the money of having winning athletic teams.

But profitable or not, sports play way too large a part in Am. college life, & has for the past century or so. There is also the pressure on professors to publish or research rather than teach. I think those schools that do emphasize teaching do not get much publicity.

And why blame poor Charles? Did he approve the increase? Looks like some students need remedial education.

Cliff, Chris and Rob all Ulstermen have come on to the board at the same time. Is this a coordinated attack by the Ulstermen.

These students will grow into middle class yuppies with posh holidays, snow-boarding and more pennies than sense. Of course they should payback the tax payer for all those years wasted sat at a desk, half cut called university.
The modern politically correct idea that everybody should go to university is one of the daft concepts of liberals/socialists and has only served to reduce the value of the degree. But the nation is getting old and running out of kids anyway so it won't last. There are lots of graduates running around today with no jobs so modern education in Britain in decline is fast becoming a pointless exercise. Apart from that everything is wonderful.
