[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Emory, because I am still irate about an article I read, discussing how they'd admitted a poor, relatively high performing first gen kid from Texas and proceeded to ruin her life.

Harvard, because for decades institutionally they did not care about the education of their undergraduates, and now the undergraduates don't care either, spending all their spare time trying to network with each other.

Howard, which is ineptly run and coasting off a reputation that has been unjustified since at least desegregation, and also sounds too much like "Harvard" for my tastes.

Duke, which has never done any soul searching about how it tried to ruin the lives of its own lacrosse players.

NYU, which is wildly overpriced and full of people who think NYU is a good idea.

Columbia, which even before the latest round of protests was famous for raking in a ton of cash by running scam master's degrees on the gullible.[/quote]

What would you like Duke to have done. There were lots of lawsuits and the kids got paid and that also likely limits what Duke can say or do. That is a really dumb reason to dislike a school. As are most of your reasons for other schools. Please tell us where you went so we can dislike it for no good reason. If you even went to college.[/quote]

Well, at the start, the faculty and students could have not gone insane. After that, the admin could've tried to dial down the outrage. And when things started to become even more obvious than they were at the start, they could've backpedaled faster. And in the end, any of the particularly rabid could've shown some sort of sign that they had learned a lesson, or at least been quietly put out to pasture for having caused Duke to have such a black eye. Nope.
