Another school in a poor state selling its quality in an effort to gain quantity.

I have to agree...what kind of education do you get when you never communicate directly - face-to-face - with fellow students, professors or even people in the hall. Part of education is learning to build your social skills. Sitting at home in your bedroom taking a clase on your computer just teaches isolationism.

For anyone new to the board I think I should explain that Albert is a Shelby supporter who has been challenged again and again and again to defend Shelby in coherent, well-developed, well-supported terms, yet has REPEATEDLY refused to do so. Now that Shelby has given you your talking points, Albert, this should not be too difficult. However, most of us on the board have long since lost respect for you, NOT because you support Shelby but because you have refused to explain why. Even ol' W.J. Johnson has stepped up to the plate and made that attempt, yet you have chosen to remain a mere snipe(r). No one takes you seriously.

Yep...and what kind of management/administration do you have, especially of a complex organization with highly trained, diversified, professional employees; when you never communicate with faculty about their diverse specialties/goals/needs/etc.?
