I agree with Thunder. They aren't absorbing AIB, they're taking it over. Rather than build a new UIDM campus, they're just taking an existing one. The UI doesn't offer associates degrees, and I don't think AIB offer's bachelors, so what's the problem, so it's not like a bunch of court stenographers and medical code specialists (or whatever AIB teaches) are going to have real Iowa degrees. If the Regents are robbing the UI's pockets because they're not accepting enough mediocre students, why not build a mediocre campus where 20% of the state's population is within 30 miles? Mediocre students will flock to it. The UI can still enroll all of the bottom of the top 1/3 of the graduating class of Southeast Polk and Dallas Center-Grimes like the fucking regents want us to, while simultaneously recruiting from elite schools in the Chicago and Minneapolis suburbs like they should be doing. AIB does offer bachelor's degrees, fuckstick. Here's the problem. None of you fucks have ever known someone who went to one of these shitass schools who then lies about having gone to the flagship. I worked with one guy who went to IUPUI for law school. Indiana is a reasonably decent Big Ten law school, on par with Iowa, Wisconsin or Illinois. IUPUI is a festering shithole of a law school. This fucking guy (who got run in the Great Recession) went around claiming Indiana all the fucking time and to this day, his firm bio (at a different firm) says "Indiana University." HappyChef and I set up a crank call to the guy where HappyChef acted liek a potential client who was looking for "an Indiana man, like himself" and we did about 10 minutes of research about bars in Bloomington and shit. This little fuck proceeded to lie during the crank call. Sickening shit. I also had to hire an accountant recently. The guy I was going to hire had "University of Illinois" and some honors shit on his bio. He shows up and I start bullshitting with the guy about Champagne and he goes "yeah, uh, I actually went to UIC." That shit is outright fucking fraud. I told him to get fucking bent. Illinois is a top accounting school and UIC is a god damned dump - the guy could be the best accountant int he world but I don't want someone who makes such an egregious misrepresentation to have mah personal info and rely on their professional advice because they clearly lack a moral compass. 10 years from now when you guys run across some 30 year old with a puddle of drool forming on his face and the guy claims he went to Iowa, you'll see why I'm sofaking pissed off. Fucking regents. So this is your big problem with it? You're concerned that guys who didn't go to Iowa will claim they went to Iowa? Who gives a shit? And building a campus downtown as opposed to Fleur Dr? How will that change anything? Also, you're assuming that UI doesn't graduate it's fair share of dumbshits right now. Any asshole who can manage a 3.2 gpa from the daunting North Cedar High School curriculum, and then scratch out a 26 on their ACT can make it into Iowa. Then this asshole takes 12 hours a semester (so he has Thursday and Friday clear for parties) for 5 1/2 years tp get his psychology/communications/journalism degree, and then goes on to the Chicago burbs to be a waiter/cube monkey/annuity salesman, and brags up his UI degree and his 900 sq' town house in Bolingbrook...he is just a big a threat to the integrity of our degrees than the UIDM grad.

Good advice, consider taking it yourself. So now you not only have the beefiest pipes, but the sharpest mind on the board? Oh please. Well, I took the MCAT for the hell of it and outscored my brothers who are one percenter practicing physicians. I never claimed to be the sharpest mind on the board. I was saying that kolladge isn't that hard. All of you might be smarter than me. More power to you. I guess academic shit never really gave me much trouble. I'm sure I'm a deficient reprobate in many other regards. I don't like advanced math though. Don't have the attention span for it.

Fucking regents. I can sympathize with you there. That's annoying. But these fuckholes prolly embellish all kinds of other shit too. Shit...you wanna talk pissant alumni? Let's talk Rudy Ruettiger. Notre Dame was a party to a major motion picture glorifying that fat little fuck. Well, as it happens, I was actually at the 92 ND-Boston College game where they filmed the game scenes. Ran out all these fake players at halftime and filmed that shit. I was liek what the fuck is this bullshit. Anyway, a few years later, I'm back in South Bend (which aside from the ND campus is a major shithole) out at Corby's pub and who walks in? Oh yeah, none other than The Rudy hisself. One of my pals starts laughing and mutter "oh God." Apparently Rudy went on to, ahem, major accomplishments in life after his cinematic christening as a fucking slumlord in South Bend. Now, the point: Even your most famous alumni can turn out to be embarrassing shitheels.

Brand It's all about the brand.
Actually it has nothing to do with the brand and everything to do with the U of I taking a local niche school and using it to get more funding from the state. It isn't going to do a damn thing to the U of I and the same people that go to AIB now will be going to it when it's named U of I DM.
Meh, I swear some people just like to bitch about the stupidest things.

Any chance they can make it effective immediately. They probably have a few kids that could start on the hoop team currently, or some walk on linebackers we can take a look at.

Truth be told I just test really well. I'm no Stephen Hawking. So I've been trolling the shit out of academia my entire life.
Which brings me no small measure of satisfaction. Fuck those self-glossing arrogant bastards.
I've got an extra gear that I can access from time to time but it ain't always engaged. I'm absent minded as hell if I'm not totally locked in. Its been strongly suggested that I've got ADHD but fuck all if I'm gonna get drugged. No way, no how. I slam melatonin to sleep and that's the limit.
College degree? It's just a fuckin barrier to entry. Nothing more.
