Roundup: Bad Deans, Grateful Dead Research?

Negative Exernalities, Anyone? Despite high-profile financial aid increases for needy/middle class students and families, percentages of those students enrolling in college has actually dropped. Whoops!

Deadhead University: The Grateful Dead recently donated 2,000 square feet of paraphernalia, posters and props to the University of California, Santa Cruz for a research center called “Dead Central.” No, I’m not kidding.

Bad Dean, No Pity For You: Dean of West Virginia U.’s business school resigns after panel declares he awarded the governor’s daughter a degree without earning it. Yup, that’ll get you fired.

Really? Writing tutors at Ivy League school Yale University “overwhelmed” by the amount of students seeking help with their essays, papers, reports. We wonder how they got into Yale.
