As a student at PSU I understand your point. However, while some of my classmates would have trouble passing the fifth grade, the same does not hold true for everyone. Over the course of four years I have come across journal articles from undergraduates at Harvard, Oxford, and Columbia where the quality of thought and writing were appalling, so the problem goes well beyond PSU. A quality education from PSU is less likely than from UC Berkeley, but should not be dismissed out of hand.

Portland State has more non-traditional students than any public university in Oregon. As a Portland State student and a single parent in my thirties, my college experience is vastly different from a recent high school graduate. I'd like to know how our new president intends to address the challenges faced by students from different backgrounds.
