Debatable. Very big on clout chasing over improving the school.[/quote]

Literally not even true, they’re [b]one of the only lacs going all out with improving the school and student experience [/b][/quote]
Use a concrete list of examples.[/quote]

Priorities on the bottom page[/quote]
So they’re building things and giving financial aid and grants like every other LAC? This is not a concrete list of anything special.[/quote]

You think doubling the campus, building a huge integrated science center and [b]recruiting 30+ faculty for it (one of the largest of any LACs),[/b] investing the most of any LAC I know outside of Colby in athletics, and raising 1 billion dollars in one fundraising campaign (the most of any LAC ever) to fund internships and scholarships is insignificant?

Ok. [/quote]
I don’t believe that 30 faculty is the largest amongst lacs if you total faculty in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Neuro, and Geology. I also wonder how you got to 30- according to CMC’s faculty page: there’s 18 faculty members, 2 directors/admin roles, and 1 visiting faculty member. [/quote]
