It just seems like such a bad idea to fall back on that logic. But maybe I'm naïve about the administrative realities of the university environment? Either way, I'd love to get a look at that piece, for sure. Seems like it's the missing half of this post, really, only much better written and researched. Thanks Eric.

Worth checking out.
