But critics argued that the state s college-going rate is so low that the money should be spent to recruit Nevadans, not students from other countries. For the most part, Moore has been well received, on campus and in the community. If you ve got an idea, he ll say, Let s try it. But Moore is not beloved by all. Some CCSN faculty members are uncomfortable with the rapid growth and constant change.
Growth makes a lot of things possible but it also means a loss of collegiality.
Overall, though, I would say most faculty members are encouraged by what s happening. Administrators at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, view Moore s frenzied activities with both awe and distaste. He can do almost anything he wants and they love it. But he s not ethical and he s not concerned about quality. He will bring in anybody to make the place grow, without concern for the impact on quality.
