We pride ourselves on our demanding academic standards, the fire our metal is forged under, our unforgiving professors whose role can often better be described as pressure cooker than teacher.
Why? The reason we give most often is it has better prepared us for success in the real world. Well, how well or we applying scientific methods of problem solving and decision making now? How many have avoided jumping to decisions before gathering all the evidence, testing hypothesis?
I’ll give credit to a few (damn few) of us that are still trying to figure out what went wrong before demanding Clough or Braine or Moore be fired, that GOL Mac be re-hired and/or that specific changes be made to the academic programs offered by Tech.

I’m sure there are others (but not nearly as many as there should be), my apologies to those who I have not mentioned.
