Rec'd with a technical glitch. --gw -------------------- Date: Sat, 18 Feb 2012 13:21:43 -0500 From: Mary E Choquette <[log in to unmask]> I usually do not chime in on such threads, but in this instance I must. Does anyone really take U.S. News and World Report seriously in matters of accreditation or any other realm of academic consideration by folk or institution? Is it not just a paragraph in an institution's glossy? Secondly, just what is a "strong football program?" Not all sports are contained within the arena of conferences that play on kickback, so to speak. Been watching that recent Harvard grad playing for the Niks? His choice. Traditional sports and other modes of kinesthetic performance production are all too regionally chauvenistically categorized.
