Butt hurtedness is a ridiculous thing to have a policy on, I would agree, but without a policy like that it would reflect poorly on the college. Remember BC is essentially a high school; the majority of students are under 21, with both Running Start and international (many countries abroad graduate students well before 18 and send them to college, and those who get to study internationally are often ahead for their age). With a school full of teenagers of course you need a butt hurtedness policy.

Summary:<br /><br />Can't base an opinion on higher education off of BC. Especially considering they just recently matriculated into a 4 year institution. The moral values which BC promotes to it's community best reflect the community in which they serve: Bellevue, WA. Liberal, reeking of political correctedness, and supportive of (the current) government office. You are also basing your opinion off of The Watchdog, which a student publication written by the young things of this same community. Also Running Start students. You can't expect much free thinking from a group of people who are primarily under the age of 21. <br /><br />I have attended 3 schools, all of which are very different. Statistically speaking, you'd need to attend 30 schools to have what's even considered a valid opinion in the scientific world. Every school is different, and I would say one must attend a school which better reflects their moral values and goals. BC does a great job at promoting the close-mindedness of the average Bellevue citizen. Me? I couldn't graduate faster (really, I couldn't, I pushed myself out the door ASAP). Gonzaga University is surprisingly open minded, considering they are a private Jesuit institution. They promote and encourage free thinking. Not all schools are the same; I dislike BC for my own reasons, but I don't think they are a good example, at all, of what higher education is.

Only in the business of higher education could you get away with selling steaming piles of doo doo while charging ever higher amounts of tuition.
