Most departments, many colleges and most individual faculty lack the resources to keep up over time with advances in computer hardware and software. In the October 27 daily update of the Chronicle of Higher Education is an article on the Carnegie Foundation's intention to revise its classifications in such a way as to remove research funding from the equation in classifying universities. In which administrative unit and at which level in the unit are these types of decisions made. A recent issue of the Daily Texan also addressed this problem. I myself believe that nothing could be higher among our educational priorities than the issues of character and tutelage involved here.
