It's a land-grant University, and that means to me that yes, we can have high standards and we should have high standards. We also must be creative and figure out how to get kids in our school. Many times, you have to give kids a chance. But for whatever reason people aren't perceiving that. I think it all goes back to funding.
Nobody likes to pay taxes, but they want to get value for their money.
I think until the public perceives the University as something they're proud of, they're going to have a hard time getting money from the Legislature. H. Bryan Neel III H .
