KSU 2025
« on: March 02, 2010, 11:03:57 PM »
Is nobody discussing this gem of a plan that Schulz is rolling out? That's only 15 years to get into the top 50. If he can make things happen that fast, he will be a genius, right?

Saw that on the front page of KSU.edu. Haven't read yet, but will soon

So, Schulz has 15 years to either find a better job, or figure out how to manipulate all those random studies and statistics and sell it to KSU alums that KSU is actually a top 50 public research institution, even though no credible source ranks KSU above 80 or so.  Fortunately for him, convincing the bulk of KSU alums that KSU is relevant as an educational institution, without a shred of credible evidence, is pretty easy.

Pretty good strategy for Schulz, imo.

These sorts of initiatives are very common by Universities and graduate programs....they fail all the time.

Pretty much already is, but yea Pres. Schultz is going to accomplish his 2025 goal with a lot of help from NBAF and all the firms that will be moving to Manhattan within the next 5-15 years.
