...your interview with Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad [Sept. 26]: In discussing the hostage crisis at the U.S. embassy in Tehran more than 25 years ago, he said, "Sometimes, in order to gain your rights, you have to do certain things." That sounds as if he would condone any type of behavior if it achieved political goals.

Furthermore, a large component of the U.S. News rankings?...
...should be allowed free reign to direct their studies. I believe that students should be encouraged to design their own courses of study in the context of a nurturing and challenging relationship with an adviser or mentor. Students are not free to take the easiest route for they must gain the approval of a faculty who I believe, deserve more responsibility in shaping students academic trajectories.
