With all this and the incredible variety and number of offerings by Administration and interest groups/clubs/Greeks/athletics , does there remain enough student time and mental energy for formal guidance and direction of “rigorous” liberal arts education by faculty?
Why has the college student body declined in number and the college rankings likewise declined?
The new president is inheritor of multiple-facted faulty ideological, and programmatic, failures of previous and current administrators, and compliant Board members?
Or, is all well, really?
