[quote=Anonymous]If you read up on what Nancy Cantor did during her time at Syracuse you'll see why they are struggling today. I know this is Wikipedia, but it gives you the general picture: "Cantor received criticism for an overall deterioration in the university's academic standing as a research center resulting in a decline in admissions standards, with its acceptance rate climbing from mid-50 to more than 60 percent.[7][9] Certain faculty members took issue with what was seen as "authoritarian rule".[7][10] Syracuse history professor David H. Bennett commented, “My fear is that the university is moving away from selective to inclusive."[11] That began the slide in the mid-2000's. Now with selective colleges separating themselves even more from the non-selective have nots, it has really struggled. [/quote]
