HI Gary,
How did you arrive at the conclusion that there are administrators at Excelsior that do not like IC ? Have any told you that personally ? It seems odd to me that they would feel this way.

Yes, a couple of them said that and one of them stated that "we" as in "they" are not fond of that site because they didn't approve of all the information being put out. We didn't go into long discussion and I'm not saying that "they" all feel that way. This was in the Liberal Arts section and the one woman was very snooty. I will state that overall, the advisors were friendly and helpful and they are quick to return posts. One thing that did turn me off to them was the fact that the first correspondence I rec'd from the school once I was enrolled wasn't a "welcome aboard" package but a letter from the alumni assoc asking for donations. They continued even after I talked with the higher ups to please stop sending them. They promised, and the alumni letters still come, even after I had the school take my name off their mailing list, how it got there I have no idea. Overall, they were very good to work with, especially in updating records and such. Come to think of it, I haven't rec'd a Live & Learn in awhile, maybe I've been taken off the wrong list :}
