If we're not a top ten in all departments we choose to field, what are we doing having such a department?

Let me explain noisy time series to you. This is a noisy time series:

1,2,3,4,5,6,5,4,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,9,9,10,11,12,13,1 4,15.

Do you get it now? Moves up and down but the long-term trend is up?

Sorry, Mullahs have to be Republican.

I understand "noise" Mr. Arrogant asshole, but I don't think it's noise, I think it's a reversal trend due to poor policies being felt by having GAs, not administrators as heads of the university.

Chino is an idiot. Debating him is a fool's errand. Chino, what do you do at John's Hopkins? Clean toilets? Are you some kind of a Ginea Pig?

He is not an idiot but mullah who reconciled according to his own preconceptions. In fact, it is quite difficult and intellectually challenging to support the party line no matter what.

You "think." I've got plenty of evidence this is not so.

1. Bateman is an administrator, he's been a Fortune 500 administrator all his life.
2. He raised a ton of money, which is what most University presidents are hired to do these days. . And that's huge component of college ratings. Dang lucky we have an economist at the helm.
3. He got people to graduate earlier, kicking up our artificially low deflated retention rate, another huge component of rankings.
4. Our ratings went up during Bateman's tenure, because, well, they went up, duh.

Being an administrator of business is not the same as being an administration in eduction, in fact they are quite different. Plus, it was the Mullah attitude he employed against faculty that bothered me mostly.

We could ask many questions to this but we don't know the factors. Did they go up because of matters initiated by the previous administration?

Notice how the unemployment data points are red. That is because they are Bush's fault.

The really fun part of this exercise is supporters of Obama will sluff off any failure as Bush's fault. When Bush did that for Clinton, it was considered ludicrous, but now that Obama is in power, Bush is the Boogeyman.

Obama is a teflon man as the media is giving him a free pass.
