According to this Stater article, President Lefton made some kind of remark "He said it is important for students not to take courses in areas they will not get jobs". This assuredly, was taken out of some context. If not then I will take issue with its meaning. Yes, it is important to be mindful of employment opportunities when deciding a major but to suggest that no courses be taken outside of that interest is beyond absurd. I feel most certainly that the President didn't mean to suggest this. Or did he? That wasn't explained well here. Taking this article at face value it would appear that President Lefton was denying the value of a well rounded education and the statement undermines the essential core of the reason why each student must take undergraduate core requirements. If President Lefton made such a comment he should be chastised by faculty and students alike. If he didn't that chastisement ought to be directed at the Stater.

And these people retired Millionaires. And maybe the United States Government could be helping the cover up?



The unusually swift execution of Zheng Xiaoyu, 62, announced by the official Xinhua news agency, also came rising international concern about the quality of the foods, drugs and many other products that China exports.
