It woulda been better as "Leave the Future". I'd go to that school. But they score pretty well here: https://kylesaunders.com/university-map/, up in quadrant I, as does my alma mater aTm (which embarrassingly just forbade a phil prof from teaching Plato 'cause it's too woke [sigh] <https://dailynous.com/2026/01/06/texas-am-bans-plato/>). So given that universities are dying, maybe the rebrand is wise even though it seems so silly? I'm supposed to go to a conference at Evergreen this week, here in Oly. I may be too busy. But Evergreen scores in quadrant III, which is the worst. The only thing they're good at is revenue diversity ... but I guess that's out of necessity.
