hello delight

GOOD published an interesting article today entitled "U. of Missouri Ponders Three-Year Degrees".  As you can imagine, it's largely a budget-oriented decision.

Curious as to how much this might save a student, I went to the website of my undergrad alma mater, (soon to be Orange Bowl Champion) Georgia Tech, to see what tuition runs these days.

Surprisingly, tuition is graduated up to a point of six credit hours.  After that, tuition is the same no matter how many hours you take.  Certainly, there are limits to what one can take due to the prerequisites, shear mental overload and such.

It seems to me that a system already exists to save 25% off tuition and do it in three years.  The role for the administration in organizing this seems unnecessary.

If anything, this is a communications issue.  I don't think we need board of trustees resolutions and the like to institute something that can easily be done without.
