So, yea, I can imagine many will (and have) started looking all over the world for students/money. The usual, major players do not have to - students/money come to them and they do fine. To many others, it has become a business - the end game is not the quality of the product, but the numbers of students who can wear the cap and gown after 3 or 4 or 5 years. Woe to those on the campus that think that education standards must remain rigorous while ignoring such issues as retention and friendliness and all that. A 4 year education in many universities is not what it used to be, it takes additional graduate work before they can be partially useful. The dumbing down of education continues at a merry pace, Seems like the B-schools have run amok with their models for raising monies through bizarre models that may include recruiting in distant lands accepting different currencies.Krishnanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10392990372263068251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33693245.post-27431402067948713482009-01-07T12:24:00.000+05:302009-01-07T12:24:00.000+05:30A Carrier portal where Men are not allowed.For Mor...A Carrier portal where Men are not allowed.<BR/>For More Details Visit http://www.naukriforwomen.comNaukriForWomen.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092669810862493269noreply@blogger.com
