[Vision2020] NSA student scores

[Nick Gier]

Greetings:

In my letters to the editor and postings on V2020 I have always praised the 
NSA students for their achievements.  Several years ago, I worked 
individually with one student on his senior thesis on Buddhism.  He sat in 
on my Buddhism class and was one of the most active participants.

My critique has to do with the NSA faculty, who fail to meet the minimum 
standard of credentials, even by the lowly TRACS standards.  In sum, these 
outstanding students deserve a better and more diverse faculty, a faculty 
that does not tolerate academic fraud in its midst.

Finally, can Mr. Engerbretson defend the policy of Wilson hiring all the 
males of his immediate faculty instead of having open competition for his 
faculty positions like other institutions have?

Yours for academic integrity,

Nick Gier
