No rebuttal, toblin?



I have stated an opinion that is shared by many. I also realize it goes against the orthodoxy, (read: mandated thought) of elitists and the defenders of the status quo. If the thought of under grads maximizing their educational dollars by choosing to attend institutions that hold their educational interests as the first and only priority upsets the old guard, so be it. The Great Recession we are experiencing has the affect of an infrequent yet powerful low tide. It uncovers forgotten skeletons and renders suspect long held beliefs. Across the board the lazy man, go-with-the-flow educational ROI analysis is being questioned. I am happy to give research funded Universities (as far as under grads go) their fair turn in the barrel.

And I too have attended many a University dog and pony show.
