Corporate mentality hurts UB
By SAMI HANNA | Oct. 19, 2005I would like to commend your managing editor Evan Pierce for his editorial of Oct. 17 ("The kids are alright"). In countering the misrepresentation that UB students are to blame for the decay of the University Heights, Pierce pointed to the obvious role the university itself is contributing to the state of affairs.Such question gains additional significance in relation to the policies the current Simpson administration seems to pursue under the amalgamation of "excellence." Improving performance and boosting the competitive edge of the university as a research institute are few of the facades this administration is using in its conquest to change how things are done around UB.
