<p>Many times I have argued that institutional resources AND the willingness to use them to support undergraduate education is one of the 4 major factors (better students, smaller classes, better/more accessible faculty) determining an excellent undergraduate experience. This move by Amherst is a perfect example of using the institutional resources to help undergraduates. If only some of those other schools with multi-billion dollar endowment would talke similar steps…Great job and kudos to Amherst.</p>
