The AL of Lacrosse Program?

[Bocephys]

Performance art, people, Performance art.

And the artist is generating exactly the response he is looking for.  I say Bravo!

Are we calling everything "art" now?

I am making the distinction that this is a performance, not a person attempting to make real observations or use actual facts.  It is for entertainment purposes only, not to be taken as legitimate arguments open for discussion.

Some might call it trolling, I see it as Performance Art...and successful Performance Art as well, as he gets the crowd to react just as he had hoped.

Where does this leave Art's Performing Center then?

Under your scenario 1 , Marquette turns into the University of Chicago, Stanford or Carnegie -Mellon over night so yes the school would be "better".

Scenario 2 = the Northeastern strategy which became a self full filling prophecy. The more selective Northeastern was perceived the better applicants they got. Now they have institutionalized a work study program and creating a return on the parents money.

Marquette needs to learn how to play the game better. The school is much better than the perception. Admissions need to be more selective to make it clear we are in the direction of more elite places. At a minimum we should be in the same discussion academically with Villanova, Fordham, SMU and Tulane .

I spend a lot of time with parents and kids and it surprising how often the choice comes down to BU or MU. The sale is much easier when there are other local kids both looking at the school and attending the school. It is basic human nature. Lacrosse definitely helps fill that role for MU and is one of the few smart things the administration did to aid admissions.

I was very displeased when I saw the report of more diversity in the admission mix . Go ahead and call me a a Tom, but I am an old school man of color that believes in earning things and never took hand outs. In my book ,diversity means lower test scores and grades and makes the school less attractive . It's one thing if we are taking kids like Markus Howard with 4.0 GPA , leadership and basketball skills . It's another to fill the place with inner city trash. If we can load up on kids from Fairfield County, Westchester County, The better areas of Nassau County and the top tier New Jersey suburbs our ratings would improve and in the long run the school would be wealthier .

What is diversity?  You won't even get agreement on that.  Is it race?  Gender?  Ethnicity?  School of thought?  Geography?  Most are going with the first two, is that the proper way to describe diversity?

Look I totally get that MU is not Princeton, Dartmouth, etc.  All I've suggested to the few administrators that I occasionally have contact with who will listen to me is that the difference between a 65% acceptance rate, where it's historically been,  and a 78% acceptance rate which is what it was last year, is enormous in terms of perception. 

Most Big East schools share a general lack of competition for admission. National coverage should improve this, but it hasn't been the case.

Seton Hall: 79%
Marquette: 78%
Xavier: 73%
DePaul 72%
Butler: 70%
Creighton: 70%
St. John's: 65%
Providence: 57%
Villanova: 48%
Georgetown: 15%

These stats are embarrassing for MU. We need to can Lovell and bring in someone who understands how to play the prestige game.

Let's set the bar high not low. We want successful kids of rich people to be attending MU. Money attract Money.

Please just admit that you aren't a Marquette alumnus and stop embarrassing those of us who are.

Bottom line is the administration is going down the wrong path. You are  lucky there are people like me who are willing to stand up for high standards .
