Such ignorance should not be an excuse at a university that prides itself in meeting the full demonstrated financial need of each student.

Unlike his fellow colleagues, Wegner decided to create his own method, one that failed to give priority to seniors and concentrators, many of whom needed this foundation class for their concentration requirements...
