<p>Re the PA scores for the US auto companies, a year ago, the CEOs of Ford, GM, and Chrysler would’ve been members of the Mutual Admiration Club. 4s and 5s all around. What a great bunch of managers and what a wonderful research operation they’ve got! I mean, they invented the car. They MUST be the smartest, most well-informed people in the industry. Yeaaaaaaaaa! </p>
<p>Meanwhile, those unenlightened foreigners, many of which manufacture in Southern states with antiquated labor laws and uneducated workforces (and they probably even watch Fox News!!), would be lucky to get 3s. </p>
<p>Yessiree, that PA scoring sure is infallible. And if anyone among the Great Unwashed dares challenge the dominant Establishment thinking that we can’t ever allow to change or evolve, we’ll crush him/her by dropping one of those Hummers on 'em. </p>
<p>Any parallels to the current Higher Education industry are purely intentional.</p>
