| I would see no problem with giving wharton students the options for some sort of liberal arts minor full of fluffy stuff, PPE is already in place. While I agree that the BFLAT minor is a pander to students who want some wharton cred, these people certainly aren't wharton rejects, as noted in the title of this thread, so saying that it caters to people who 'didn't get into wharton' is rather disingenuous.
I personally fail to see how it would undercut the 'one university concept as well' If some students want a note on their transcript that says they took a bunch of wharton classes, I don't really see the problem with it from that sort of standpoint. Where I do see a problem is that it could lead to an increase in the number of wharton backdoor candidates to the college, students who would figure that if they ended up not being able to get the grades to do an internal transfer, then they'd just settle for the next best thing. |
