Wrong goal

To the editor:

It appears that some of the administrators at Kansas University would like to apply private school standards to a public institution. If this is the case, then maybe they should do so without state and federal support. I am bothered to read about how KU seeks to be exclusive and selective. The founders of our public university system sought to provide the opportunity for higher education to ALL Kansas citizens. Is it more important for KU to be ranked in obscure academic publications than to further educate the citizens of Kansas?
