And a related tidbit I failed to note last week is this AP piece on faculty complaints about IU's lackluster undergraduate population. In addition to being underpaid, '"In some parts of the university, the faculty are actively disengaging from the educational enterprise because they're so frustrated with the students," said Ted Miller, a public affairs professor and president of the faculty council." I had Prof. Miller for a graduate-level statistics class, and I will attest to his sincerity. He's a brave man to make an unpopular but necessary case.
