We could provide a method for individuals (preferably former participants and/or faculty in the referenced program) to offer their own subjective opinions and observations, without LOPSA, itself, incurring any liability...or potentially damaging our future credibility. But it wold still allow a prospective student to make an educated choice about which programs to apply. Or even if they do find themselves in a program that is perhaps not rated as highly, the student could use those observations to plan extracurricular study so that they are more confidently prepared for their career. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
