<p>You mean the sentence that almost killed the thread? Thanks for neatly capturing the essence of what I was trying to say, albeit I must admit I was not doing a very good job of expressing it. </p>
<p>I think our best business schools are already operating as semi autonomous institutions within the university. They are richer too. In Schulich the students are awarded the BBA. In Queen’s, the “commies” get a B. Com. Ditto in Toronto and McGill. Western, I believe, offers an honours BA for graduates of the Ivey school. The students, however, are admitted into Arts and Science for the first two years, and if successful with their applications (highly competitive), will spend the last two years doing all cases, all the time a la Harvard.</p>
<p>My original point still stands. Nobody here would suggest these students and their education are somehow inferior to their counterparts in arts and science. Absolutely nobody.</p>
