I’m starting to feel like a broken record because I keep repeating the same thing to you again and again!</p>
<p>Lets start with a simple definition:
Reputation - The BELIEFS or OPINIONS that are generally held about someone or something.</p>
<p>Ok, now lets analyze that for a second. A belief or opinion is subjective it does not have to be based in any fact or reality. Factually you are right the level/quality of education has not changed since before the scandal broke. However, a reputation does not have to be based on fact. If someones opinion toward the university has changed because of the scandal it does not matter whether or not anything factually changed about the university. A reputation is based on OPINION and BELIEF!!! This is why I am saying that you and I are arguing two entirely different things.</p>
<p>You are the one who is all in a huff because you are concerned that someone dared to insult your precious university. Which in all honesty wasn’t an insult since I never spoke badly about the university itself.</p>
