This is mainly for the University of Richmond peeps who visit the blog. From the Dad-Sent-Me-This-Newspaper-Clipping-In-The-Mail File: Pres. Cooper says the school needs to attract a better class of student because it had previously been turning "mush into mush". His exact words:
"The entering quality of our student body needs to be much higher if we are going to transform bright minds into great achievers instead of transforming mush into mush, and I mean it."
ARRRRRGH!!!! His excuse (noted in the linked story) is weak. I can't stand this guy. He laments our school having a poor donor base, but then says crap like this about my fellow alumini and does bone-headed things like removing the co-ordinate system. Other than the obvious financial reasons, that's why I don't give to the school (aside from the $50 Annual Fund I specifically instruct to be given to WDCE). When he's gone (and I get a decent paying job), my level of giving will jump dramatically.
He's an idiot. Perhaps it's because nobody watched his "Hangin' With Dr. Cooper" sitcom.

ReplyDeletewhy is he still there?
spydrz - Dad said there's a rumor going around that Cooper will resign. Hope it's true.
ReplyDeletejasdye - After raising tuition to the 3rd highest in the freakin' country, I have no clue.
