FINALLY COLLEGE CAN LITERALLY BE FOR ANYONE If you hadn't heard, A&M announced the creation of a new $150MM research campus to be constructed by 2018. In addition to attracting lucrative private industry research, this campus will provide an education opportunity for up to 10,000 people who were otherwise rejected from admission to Texas A&M. Of course we had to go straight to Chet Norsworth to get the story, but what's really amazing is that this quote isn't from Chet:
"We must offer new, transformative business models whether we are moving our research from the laboratories into the marketplace, or helping more students to achieve a college education," said John Sharp, chancellor of the Texas A&M University System.
