[Vision2020] NSA ranks 18th in Freshman ACT scores in U.S.

[Tom Hansen]

Not to mention New Saint Andrews' lack of accreditation.

 

Listing a non-accredited college on one's resume' does not speak very loudly
for one's credentials, now does it?

 

Perhaps that is why the only place of "employment" open to NSA grads is
Wilson, Inc.

Subject: [Vision2020] NSA ranks 18th in Freshman ACT scores in U.S.

 

Dale Courtney <right-mind.us> shares the information on his blog site that
New St. Andrews' College has the 18th highest ACT score of 3,015 Higher Ed
Institutions.

<http://cnsearch.collegenet.com/cgi-bin/C3/cnsearch?DistLtGt=lt&DistMiles=50
&schooltype=654&reorder=DESCact&qstart=10>
&DistMiles=50&schooltype=654&reorder=DESCact&qstart=10

 

Dale neglected to mention that the number 1 school in this ranking is
Coahomoa Community College, located in Clarksdale, Mississippi which offers
associate degrees and vocational and technical training.

Anyhow, he goes on to say:

"Not shabby when lumped with MIT, Notre Dame, Amherst, UPenn, Oberlin,
Colgate, John Hopkins, Northwestern, and Dartmouth.  For the Intoleristas:
your charges don't stick against the data.  Suck it up and bark up a
different tree."

 

Dale, don't be a jackass.  The Intoleristas have never questioned the
intellectual ability of NSA students. I personally have no doubt that they
are, on the whole, bright, engaged, and capable of high academic achievement
in either private or public schools.  The problem at NSA is not the
students, it's the faculty.  There are fourteen faculty members at NSA.
Four of them (28%) are related by blood or marriage to Doug Wilson
(including Wilson himself in that count.)  While nepotism would not
necessarily exclude Wilson's brother, son, or son-in-law from holding
positions in the school, his brother, Gordon, is the single member of the
Wilson family to have the academic credentials worthy of faculty
consideration. 

 

Consider the case of Nate Wilson (Doug Wilson's son) and his remarkable rise
in the world of NSA.  Holding only an undergraduate degree from NSA and a
master's degree (St. John's College) Nate was promoted to the NSA equivalent
of a full professorship. 

The standard for promotion to full professorship at the University of Idaho
is found at:

http://www.webs.uidaho.edu/facultycouncil/ByLaws%20Departments/history.htm
Not only does Nate not meet the standard for promotion, he wouldn't be
considered for any entrance level appointment, he is, simply stated, not
educated enough for a faculty position.

 

The long and short of it is this: NSA students, particularly if they are
bright, are being robbed every day that they attend that "school."  They are
being taught by men who are, in general,  poorly trained, and
non-competitive in the world of academia. The United Negro College Fund
slogan, "A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Waste," ought to be carved over the
front door of NSA for all the students and parents to consider prior to
spending their money and their time in an unaccredited, employment agency
for Wilson family members, and Christ Church elders.
