There is a long article in Philadelphia magazine by Maureen Tkacik about Wharton. My blog is cited in the article. Ally or Brad should have been cited, they have the power blogs and are uber-capitalists.

I definitely believe Wharton should have grade disclosure. I am my cohort's Academic Rep and have seen plenty of data that supports disclosure. But even without grade disclosure, people are still working hard. For example, everyone I know was studying like crazy for finals this year. Nobody said, "I'm not going to study because we don't have grade disclosure." It's unfortunate that wack-o professor Armstrong's letter was referenced. He hasn't taught MBAs in 10 years and was recently rated below a 1.0 on a 5.0 scale by his undergrad students during class assessments. His fellow professors have said he craves attention.

In other news, a signed copy of Deep Throat's book, The FBI Pyramid, is up to over $3,000 on ebay since Felt was named as Bob Woodward's Watergate source. Bob Woodward was a Naval Officer before he left to work for the Washington Post. Talk radio conservative G Gordon Liddy went to jail for several years after Watergate, after leading the DNC break-in. He apparently is now mad at Felt.
