One example is the rumor about cutting the nursing program. There are some curriculums that do better that the regional campuses. Credit transfer is difficult with select admission. We hope to have 9-10 doctoral programs. I went to the University of Maryland in the Asian division and the classes were much harder.
Grad students have an important role.
Some grad students make excellent teachers because they relate to the students well. We need to be careful what responsibilities we give them. I do not think they should decide the curriculum. I am sorry about your situation. We are looking for students who can succeed.
