Better faculty = higher salaries and tuition
I don’t know of anyone on campus who could have guessed that becoming a university would have caused us not only great pride but also so many growing pains. We just began to enjoy the new title when some members of the administration and faculty began to look for the exit signs. Most of those [...]
The score is in; too much competition damages quality
21st century living has become one big game with all the players competing against each other for the big score. It is all about who is winning these days.

Something strange has been occurring over this winter here at Missouri Western State University.
