Yes, that's him. I'd say he has done a tremendous amount of work, pouring through basically all of the articles that might contain photos, diagrams, or text info that a conservative parent would not want to have available to a child. (It is, of course, a parent's rightful place to be able to do thi...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

So how do universities rise in the rankings? By attracting students with higher test scores. And price is the easiest way for them to do that. Merit scholarships are simply a way that universities use to lower the price for the most qualified applicants to convince them to choose their school over ...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

Is it possible you've forgotten to account for the Mennonite Work Ethic® again? … Inconveniently, this particular Sattler graduate has never actually been a member of a Mennonite church, but I see no need to let that stop us from crediting all his success to his Mennoniteness.
