You can’t require the SAT if you need to admit a couple of thousand extra out of state students so that you get the extra tuition moneyAnd PSU no longer requires an SAT score. How many even dumber kids does PSU admit?

Why can't out of state students take standardized tests?
Also, I don't understand why out of state students would cause higher tuition for in state students.
It‘s been said that Penn State-University Park has increased the proportion of out-of-state undergraduate students by lowering its admissions standards. This has been done to increase the tuition dollars coming in. So, more dummies, more dollars.
I don't support lower standards for anybody. Does that make me a racist, xenophobe, or something even worse?It‘s been said that Penn State-University Park has increased the proportion of out-of-state undergraduate students by lowering its admissions standards.

Of course.
I taught undergraduates for more than 20 years. The last couple of years I was getting emails and calls from deans when a student was given a failing grade. It was an 'indirect' sort of pressure to NOT fail students.
Yes, dean, I understand that a failing grade will cause this 'student's' financial aid to be put on hold or lost. That is not my concern. My concern begins and ends when the 'student' doesn't finish projects, doesn't show up for the final exam, etc. I had enough and retired.
A LOT of these people should never have been allowed into any sort of college, other than to sweep up or some other useful tasks. Sadly, many of them would screw that up too, and expect additional pay and much more time off.
I’ve read this five times and still can’t determine what you are saying.
I think you are saying that you’ve never had pride in PSU. That seemed clear. The second sentence is the one I‘m trying to interpret/understand. Are you saying that you are disgusted that PSU football profits from the association with the university or that people profit by marketing PSU football. Either of those seems like a very bizarre thought.
You don’t giving a failing grade. The student earns a failing grade.
I had a student show up to the first two classes and then never again this past semester. She did zero assignments but never dropped the class. I did what I was required to do in terms of making sure all campus academic resources were aware, but when it came time to submit grades, she earned an F. It’s only the second F I’ve ever had to give in over 20 years.
I apologize for my chaotic statement , apparently my comprehension stinks, it sucks getting old.
First, i have always prided myself in Penn State, i NEVER lost it.
Second, PSU football built PSU what it is today , the admins and suits surrounding PSU make too much money and power from it.
Last i haven't been feeling good lately, especially thought wise with my age. I'm glad someone like you pointed out errors in my statement
no offense taken , but reality sets in sometime. I've been a PSU football fan since 1964, nothing changed, still a loyal fan. God Bless.
Hahaha
Thank you for clarifying. I would never have deduced that sentiment. Have a great day
Bit, be clear. There is one man who is responsible for the rise of the university and he got royally f*cked by the slime you/we detest
hahahahahaha

I owe PSU a lot and the pride and love I had was huge. Sadly that has waned with each passing year and the stuff that's gone on there and I don't mean the Sandusky garbage. It doesnt even feel like the same school I went to. Every year it feels less and less like "We Are" and more and more like "I Was".
Never a last time. I has been continuous since my freshman year. Fifty-eight(58)consecutive years of being proud
