One of the grad students found a great article about the MBA experience. He notes the grade inflation as well as his inability to recognize some concepts on exams. While he does not ID the school involved, I would say this is true of many of the programs. The suggestion that there be a national exam to reallly earn the mba like a cpa or law degree is not a bad idea at all, but I doubt one could get a majority of schools, since everyone has an mba program now, to go along with it.
I see the latest idea from Governor Perry is to reward schools for graduating more students, uh oh. And now that they, the legislature, have let universities set their own tuition, Dewhurst is wistfully wishing those same schools would hold tuition constant. One of John Connally's tenets was that tuition should not rise about 50 bucks a semester. Here is the link. No doubt this will be another example of Unintended Consequences.
