A click bait title from the author. Reads like he is just upset that the direction chosen wasnt his. Personally I think being unique in your values, and giving the finger to US News, is a rational choice for a mid tier college.
And who can argue that colleges haven't failed to adapt to today's economy? Literally some small schools have larger Latin departments than CS.
Maybe this experiment will work. Maybe it won't. But, as long as students are informed in their choice, I think it's worth trying.
- mannykannot 8y agoA large part of this experiment seems to consist of increasing the losses of the athletics program, such as the extra $9M subsidy in a year when the total deficit was $26M. High expenditure on athletics is often justified by the revenue it generates, but that is clearly not the case here. Is there any plausible case to be made that this extra expenditure will lead to the athletics program becoming self-sustainingly profitable in time to save the university?
