[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 463549, member: 959"] It’s gets back to the mission of the school, at least in my opinion. We say we are creating the “tomorrow takers” as a school. That requires a baseline understanding of math and science. I know there is a knock on the Institute for being “elitist”, so I hope this doesn’t come off that way, but we are - by virtue of our charter and the alumni who have come before the current study body - committed to building the leaders of tomorrow. I, along with many of our fellow graduates, believe in that mission. We believe that it requires educating young men and women beyond the minimum and preparing them for a lifetime of progress and service. On top of that I hope for, and donate money to support, the notion of excellence in all areas we endeavor to compete in. I’m far more comfortable upping the ante of my support than I am entertaining a reduction in academic standards for the sake of competitiveness in sport. The mission of Georgia Tech is education, first and foremost. As some of the posters above have said, if we decide on the grounds of academic achievement and advancement, to include additional majors then I support it full stop. If, however; we are chasing the ghost of recruiting players who won’t be able to handle the academic workload we expect today, then I would suggest we have lost our way. Our mission as a place of higher learning should not be tarnished by other school’s disregard for their own responsibilities. There is something painfully noble about Don Quixote’s commitment to tilting at windmills and it feels appropriate as a reference to our current situation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
