[QUOTE="bigrabbit, post: 860383, member: 6023"] It’s just a different world and especially hard on our older alums. Started with Pettit, accelerated with Stelson and Crecine, you just can’t run a school like GT of the 60s/70s any more. I was in Stelson’s office in the late 80s and he had every PhD dissertation piled on his table to read. Now, they’d fill up a room. Terrible freshman retention doesn’t work now. GT is now crazy hard to get in, but they want everyone to graduate. If GT had not transformed research wise, we’d be Cal Poly I guess. I read about foreign students, true for grad/doctoral students but not undergrads. The Asian undergrads are Asian Americans, most from top Atlanta area high schools. Doctoral students are the cheap labor behind successful research labs…not sure how I feel about that but iiwii. How many elite academic schools play elite football now? Very few. Michigan, Notre Dame maybe, although nobody thinks either of them are about to win a national championship. UT and TAMU are ok and guess they’ll make a run at it. Maybe it’s good we’re in the ACC, we can compete with that crowd. [/QUOTE]
