Granted it’s been a very long time but I’m certain the professors I talked to were feeling just the opposite from him. Maybe he ended up having to do what the BOT mandated...?

If what you say is true then I’ll habe to reconsider some things...

There was a push under Lee to be more of an academic institution and I think Samuelson kind of continued that a bit. But my understanding has been that Batemen took it the other direction. You are saying that Batemen tried to push for more academic rigor but the BOT wasn’t going for it?
