[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2012-04-19/bubble-u-dot-high-point-university[/quote] The article makes an interesting observation, OP, "Inside the gorgeous new buildings, High Point seems to do pretty much what it did before: educate kids with generally middling academic records in small classes with teachers who are usually good and sometimes great." "High Point is slipping by some traditional academic measures. The percentage of faculty with a Ph.D. or other terminal degree is down three points, to 69 percent, while the student-to-faculty ratio has crept up from 15 to 1 to 16 to 1 since 2005. Faculty pay raises have not kept pace with those at top North Carolina schools. Administrators say the rush to hire new teachers for fast-growing enrollment accounts for some of the slippage." I would not send my child to this school. It seems too risky for the money.[/quote]
