Right there is ample evidence to support the raising of admission standards.
gnome, Rev. David Murray is also a UM [[yes Ann Arbor) graduate. So what does that do to your argument? I've met plenty of WSU grads that can run circles around lots of UM grads.

While I think that WSU should raise its standards a bit, I think it also needs to be careful that it doesn't become a UM or MSU where you have to become a professional student to take any degree program. One of the great things about Wayne is that you can work and take many of their degree programs. I did my Master's at WSU because that's all that would work for me and my family. I could have gone to UM [[and was asked to) but with a mortgage and two kids at the time, being a full-time student wasn't an option. I got as good of an education in my degree program at Wayne as any fellow professionals and co-workers I've met who graduated from the more "prestigious" programs.
