For years, course prediction methodology has not been accurate enough to allow departments to reliably hire and train TFs far enough in advance —leaving TFs in a precarious job market and students in precariously-led sections.

The group plans to hire advertising firm Young & Rubicam to help get the word out. Last week Bassett fielded calls that were a mixture of envy and sympathy from the presidents of the United Way and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
