There was some guy in the paper this morning that was worried his AIB degree was going be devalued because of the merger.

I know people hate Sally but think it's damn funny that this was announced and some on the Board of Regents are butthurt that they weren't notified prior to it being made public. That's the only reason I liek it. It's a clearly a giant "fuck you" to the BoR, and to a lesser extent, ClownU. Get the bulldozers started and tear down that shithole AIB, buy out Fleur Place and bulldoze that shit for expansion and then let any sumnabitch who can fog a mirror in so that they can cash as many government checks as possible. Fuck, just make the place open admissions for anyone with at least a 2.0 from an Iowa high school. Build some shit dorm on the edge of downtown Neck Moines and create a bunch of shit-tastic glossy marketing brochures about how glamorous it is and these twitter addicted retarded kids from out in the boonies will flock to the place because over 50% of them have never been outside the state of Iowa other than to go to the Omaha Zoo. Run some MBA scam out of there, too, complete with marketing signs liek this one:

Which again reiterates my initial point - if there is a school in Iowa that is full of bigger dumbasses than AIB, I want to know what it is. They charge $17,000 PER YEAR for associates degrees. My total tuition for 3 years at Iowa law was less than the cost of an associate's degree at AIB.

I remember getting my first tuition statement and feeling liek I was committing theft.

Norf dakota used to have a program in their medical school that would allow native americans to graduate with sub standard grades, but only be allowed to practice medicine on a reservation. I envision an ISU med program to be similar. You graduate from vet school with a dual degree that lets you treat livestock and clone fans.

It's funny you should mention that- I swear the butthurt is laughable- "Let's buy DMACC, Drake, Des Moines University, Simpson, Grand view, Coe, Mount Mercy, etc." Good god the people on that board are dumber than shit.

Deliberately lied? Maybe that's a bit far? Just liek any new couple, they're just sprucing up their meet-cute to make them seem liek a better couple. I mean, I'm not going tell my kids, when they ask, that their mother and I met when she picked my hotel key out of a hat in a coke orgy. You tell them that you met eyes across a crowded room and swept her off her feet, not that you fell for her because you were forced to have a conversation after the coke left you flacid...

Jesus, who the fuck writes this shit? The Trustees of AIB have a fiduciary duty to do what is best for the entity and it is clear that if they are bleeding their endowment and operating at 50% capacity with only enough cushion to last for 2 years they had to either close the doors or get it merged because you can't in good conscience admit a class for this coming August when you know there is a decent chance the school won't remain open long enough to confer degrees on the new crop of lemming idiots. And the part about "giving it away" is fucking absurd. It is a non-profit so it doesn't have a fucking stockholder who can take the purchase price. If a non-profit folds, the state gets the residual. But I'm sure some fucking retarded "journalist" in Neck Moines thinks this is a helluva story. Kudos to Drake for telling them to get bent. Drake wouldn't even take that fucker for free. Lulz.

For years I've wished they would expand it to a couple of pages.
