\nA SELF-SERVING EDUCANT ON THE LOOSE!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Arkansas State University and a grand scheme to educate Mexicans\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6using Arkansas tax dollars. <\/p>\n

To: Governor Mike Beebe, Chancellor Hudson, and the Arkansas State Legislature.<\/p>\n

Gentlemen & Ladies:                        November 28, 2012<\/p>\n

I am neither amused nor impressed by the odious scheme put forth by ASU\u00e2\u20ac\u201dJonesboro Chancellor Tim Hudson.<\/p>\n

Hudson and his enablers whoever they may be, are proposing to open up a branch of ASU in Mexico to teach 3,000-5,000 Mexicans.  For what purpose?
\nThe arrogance and absurdity of this proposed plan magnifies the pathetic state of education in Arkansas.<\/p>\n

51% of high school graduates who enter colleges & universities throughout the state require remedial course work to gain entrance. Would it not be a priority for Hudson to direct his scholarly attributes toward the K-12 system in Arkansas to demonstrate his allegiance to Arkansans?
\n 
\nThen there is the matter of cost, which in this case would be substantial. But when do bureaucrats & politicians concern themselves with cost?  Education at all levels has become nothing more than a protection racket and money pit.  <\/p>\n

Chancellor Hudson, you were hired to teach American citizens and more particularly Arkansas kids; therefore get after the job you were hired to do.<\/p>\n

I can just imagine what your public\/private partnership would look like.<\/p>\n

You have absolutely no authority to spend my hard-earned tax dollars on Mexicans here or abroad!<\/p>\n
