| Since my son visited and applied in November, I have been reading the UMASS student newspaper online. Chancellor Lombardi left to be President of the LSU system. He took Vice Chancellor Gargano with him. The strike issues from last fall have not been resolved. There seem to be more issues on campus than the reputation of ZooMASS. I don't know if more of UMASS' problems have come to light more since the exodus of administration.
I do know that Admissions is overwhelmed at the number of applications and parts of applications have been "misplaced" even though they were mailed in one envelope.
My son has since changed his mind and has decided that UMASS is not for him. I have to agree. I was impressed with our tour guide and the faculty and staff I met in the Business School. But can the Business School programs outweigh the overall problems on campus? |
