I noticed quite a few of the people who work there as enrollment counselors and such also graduated from the college. Not that that has anything to do with anything. It's just something I noticed lol.
I believe it's pretty common for entry level positions to be staffed by graduates of a school. Most "Academic inbreeding" concerns are when most of the faculty achieved their terminal degree from the same institution they teach. This is generally frowned upon by academics because it doesn't encourage diversity thought. I don't think it would matter either way, because most academics aren't exactly smiling upon Patten's model anyway.
