NY Times/Lariat
It's not often that the New York Times follows up on a story which broke in the Lariat (Baylor's Student Newspaper) but this time it did.

What a ridiculous idea. Raise the school's average, not by recruiting students with higher scores, but rather by giving the students you already recruited the chance to retroactively make the scores reflect higher than what they actually were. Why not offer it to seniors at Baylor while we're at it? I'm sure I could've done a lot better on the SAT after taking 4 years of college classes, and I'm sure it would raise the school's SAT average.
From the follow-up:
“'I’m just astounded that rankings would drive policy to such an extent,' Dr. Ballinger said."
Someone needs to write THIS on a napkin and mail it to the BOR, IMHO.
