Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 743343, member: 652"] I like to humble brag with my friends and seeing our University sliding isn't something I like. Even though I went to Newhouse I had plenty of friends at the school who didn't I like the perception of our University to be as high as it can be to attract the best and the brightest to Syracuse University. If we weren't constantly sliding down in the ranking during Chancellor Cantor's tenure I would care a little less, but we have gone from 51 to 62 in 6 years which is not good. My education is great and helped me greatly and for that I am proud of my University but if you have don't have high expectations then what is the point. The one thing I always remember from Syracuse was what Prof. Charlotte Grimes taught my class "Don't settle for mediocrity" and that is exactly what I am saying why we shouldn't be happy if we are consistently sliding down. I don't like being mediocre and hope we can get back to the 40s and get even higher. [/QUOTE]
