Fail: Online Class About Online Classes

[Dickie Billericay]

Is it just me or does it seem like a barely understandable third world accent is a prerequisite to a PhD these days?

Came across this at the website of Tulane University, alma mater of such notables as Andrew Breitbart, Neil Bush, Newt Gingrich and Lauren Hutton.

From the names I'm guessing there is maybe one white American male in the entire business PhD program, depending of course on how you define "white." I imagine this is pretty representative of most major universities these days. Not that I begrudge any of these folks the fruits of their labor, but I think the answer to your question is "no, it's not just you."

I wonder whether universities are deliberately excluding certain unfashionable groups of people, or whether there are just so few locals willing to go deep into hock for a degree that will never pay for itself that they have to make up the shortfall with naive foreigners who don't know any better?
