A co-worker of mine went to Texas Tech.
He's usually a decent enough guy, but I'm going to see how he reacts to a "Chancellor Hance is ruining Texas Tech and there ain't a G'damn thang you can do about it, beeeeeyotch!" in passing.
Between this thread and the Kingsbury thread, you guys are making he dislike TT. That's not a feeling I generally like to have about WGAS technical schools.
Academic smack from a UCF grad?
I just want to go on record that the good Chancellor if nothing else has a kickass name.
Raising a billion dollars for research is doing nothing for students? Expanding the university is doing nothing for students and alumni? Setting the university on the road to tier I is doing nothing for the students?
Okaay, in spite of having a huge student body UCF is ranked #174 and Tech #165. So yeah, you pretty much dominated the argument.
It is pretty funny to see anyone coming hard on academic merits from one average school to another.
