Can you get a good quality education at UNR and UNLV? Of course you can. But wouldn’t you want the best college education possible from a school that attracts the best students and the best faculty? I would.
Both UNR and UNLV are not the best – they are not even close to being the best.
Nevada has always had the capacity, but never the desire to build world-class universities. That has hurt our ability to attract high tech business and to build very sophisticated financial centers.
We missed the boat. I doubt it will ever come by again.
You don't need an education, let alone a good one to fill the mostly service jobs the Silver State has available.
ReplyDeleteIf the state had ANY leaders, they would understand this.
