<p>This morning on NBC’s “The Today Show” they were announcing US New & World Report’s College Rankings. They put up a graphic claiming to show the top schools, but it was only the top National Universities, with no mention of the top National Liberal Arts Colleges. This is irresponsible journalism and only serves to perpetuate the myth that you can get a first rate education only at a University. If you believe that the best education can be gained at an LAC, join me and write an email expressing your disappointment with their presentation of misleading information to:

<p>It’s not new news that LACs don’t get as much respect as large universities, but it’s enough for me to know that enough people who are good fits for them are applying. Frankly, it’s understandable that most people are not interested in a LAC education and if they can’t see the appeal in it, they probably don’t belong at one anyway.</p>

<p>Uh…kwu is a guy.</p>
<p>LOL! I know, I know. It was an inside joke.</p>
<p>Oh, okay…</p>
