The pendulum does swing, even for Ward Churchhill and the Colorado State school system
Honesty and the standards to enforce honesty in teaching counts. Our kids count in their education. The assumption about sending our kids to achieve an advanced education is based on hope, and statistics, and of course our families’ willingness to pay and endure. The most important things are the facts and the recorded history of a college education benefiting our kids. We send’em, but many are not ready and fall by the wayside, albeit happy in most cases. In the same vein, if they make the grade and survive, then they have the fiber to better lead our country, their families, improve their marriage prospects, or whatever.
The disturbing thing about PhD doctor Ward Churchhill is his proclivity to make up the facts, or plagiarize, or otherwise misinform our kids about the facts. This proclivity is immoral, unprofessional, and thank goodness the Regents asserted their standards by firing him.
Much the same standards appear to be applied to journalism. In many lifetimes historical institutions like the BBC , NPR, or commercial news in the USA are going under based on the latest leaderships’ frittering away their historical inheritances. What a shame. Let’s see what a journalism degree is worth in our future. Not much most think.
What most care about is their kid’s education, and the standards they are paying for and expect.
In this the pendulum has swung.
