[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 784316, member: 789"] I just don’t get GT’s leadership and their strategy. There’s tons of qualified Engineer candidates of all shapes & sizes yet we turn them away. Why doesn’t GT start an Honors Engineering Program for the truly brilliant, the creme of the crop we attract? The elite GT types can have their chest thumping academic paradise for the brainiacs & other regular smart kids can just be above average Engineers in the other regular Engineering colleges. Then double or triple the size of the existing Engineering Colleges and accept every qualified candidate or more if that’s not enough. If kids graduate it’s a win-win, we don’t have to pick winners before the game starts. You do the work & you graduate. We can dominate the nation in Engineering grads, I mean really really dominate. We don’t piss off alums with kids/grandkids that get blacklisted because we’re diversifying, we don’t discrimminate against kids that don’t have the country club background but will succeed by hard work & determination because their parents couldn’t afford better and they learned a different way, etc. We end up having tons more alums running around making our country prosper like GT grads do, maybe we fill up the library on Saturday & some of the kids who didn’t arrive early enough to study all day end up at Bobby Dodd to watch football as an alternative. Why do we need to make kids go to another school first? Why doesn’t GT just step up & satisfy the demand of the people wanting GT to educate them? [/QUOTE]
