There appears to be a troublesome situation in New Jersey where the
governor has decided to merge the State University system with the
State College system -- I could be wrong about the terms but Rutgers
has been the official state university while there was a separate state
college system which contained Montclair State College (now University),
and Rowan University (formerly Glassboro State College, home of the
long-time EPA executive officer Murray Benimoff).  Specifically, the gov
wants to merge the Rutgers-Camden school with Rowan University while
other parts of the system would also undergo break-up or merger).

However, it turns out that some of the information that was being
provided by Rowan in support of the merger (the Rutgers faculty and students
appear to be against it) has been "incorrect". It appears that the SAT
scores for Rowan were "incorrectly" calculated (by a 100 points upward).
More information can be obtained from this article on the NewJersey.com
website:

But this might not be the first time you may have heard of a college
doing this.  As the article notes:

|In January, an administrator at Claremont McKenna College, an already
|selective school outside of Los Angeles, was forced to resign after it
|was found he inflated SAT scores by 10 to 20 points for each of five years.

What an example to set for the students! ;-)
