Another recruiting opportunity
by AnonTerp on Mar.04, 2010, under Campus Life
“For students, their first College Park riot was anything but a disappointment.”
Thus reported the Diamondback this morning, which went on to describe at least one student’s expectations of the place when he applied to Maryland.
How special this always coincides with recruiting season. One wonders how many top scholars we yield for the next arriving cohort after a win over the Dukies and a good riot on Route One. “Forget that business about lining me up for a Fullbright. Can you promise me I’ll get a souvenir street sign after a championship basketball victory?” Yup, those are the students we want. (Not.)

So maybe that really was Barbara Gill I saw handing out Duke shirts and matches, shouting “Burn, baby burn!”

And the hits keep on coming. Having the Sun carry an AP report about arrests will ensure the rest of the state sees our recruiting message. :-/

I wonder what is the average GPA of those 23 students who were arrested? I’m just saying …

I’m betting they don’t expel students at all. Risk impacting our graduation and retention rates? This administration???

Here’s a good thought. Maybe hitting the campus in its pocketbook would get their attention even if we can’t.
(Diamondback article this morning is on donors and alumni not being very happy with the post-game antics. Good article.)
