Prospects Dim
Some people never learn. This is especially sad when it happens in an institution of higher learning. But, we work with what we have.
In the case of New College of California, unfortunately, what we have is a mess. A mess that hasn't been cleaned up in thirty years.
In its latest of numerous scathing indictments of the school, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (the accrediting agency) has issued a detailed report of the ongoing misfeasance by administrators and malfeasance by trustees in terms of academic, financial, and ethical mismanagement. To quote the suppressed report leaked to students just yesterday, "The prospects for success are dim."
