[Laughs.] Ethiopia has one of the highest incidences of blind?ness on earth because of trachoma, which is caused by filthy eyes.

Academic exploration requires a certain degree of responsibility, and we would be loath to endorse students choosing concentrations in which they have little to no knowledge or experience.

It is necessary for these departments to mandate prerequisites so that students have the skills and understanding to take full advantage of upper-level courses.
