I would love to know what a 21 year old with bad grades is going to tell PhD faculty members about how to run their own curriculum. Was this the Philo dept. you were "advising", or the engineering and tech majors?
And he's shocked they decided his ideas weren't the most brilliant proposals they've ever heard!?! Please tell us what your platform was, and how they were only political. What were your ideas for change? How did they not give a "rats ass" about student learning?
