How exactly does NSC inspire students to attend college?

I mean, this boondoggle of a college has a 16% 6-year graduation rate compared to the national average of 57%.

If anything getting to know about NSC would be a strong disincentive to anyone contemplating college.

I am all for better air-conditioning for the students and Yesser "having his own office, complete with new furnishings."

However, I would like them to pay for it themselves instead of having the tax-payers pay for it.

It defies logic that a private institution like University of Southern Nevada can pay their bills themselves, but Nevada State requires millions from taxpayers and is constantly demanding more.

Let's see... students who joined since 2002 have a graduation rate of 16% compared to a national average of 52%. And this is Rogers idea of a "great college".

Rogers is entirely too committed to taking the taxpayers money and wasting it on political boondoggles like NSC.

Throwing more money at disgraceful institutions like Nevada State College is NOT THE SOLUTION.

Take a look at what kind of education NSC has been offering. It claims to have a Bachelors of Business Administration degree program. Now take a look at the permanent faculty for the business administration program: http://www.nsc.nevada.edu/Academics/Prog...

Yes, you read it right. There is a Dr. Moore who has a PhD in Economics and "does not have an office on campus". And then there is a Grace Thomson for who no qualifications at all are listed. Why? Because (as it turns out by researching her name on the internet) she has a MBA from Ecuador!!!

So NSC has been handing out Business Administration Bachelors degrees with one faculty who has a MBA from Ecuador and another who doesn't have a campus office. Bulk of courses are taught by underpaid adjuncts who have no incentive to provide quality.

Compare this with a college in the vicinity, Cal State Bakersfield. In just the finance and accounting part of its business administration department it has 8 faculty with PhDs:

When you take into account the other areas like marketing etc. you are probably over 30.

Basically NSC is swindling its students by promising to give them a Business Administration degree.

NO MORE TAXPAYER'S MONEY FOR THESE SCOUNDRELS WHO ARE SWINDLING STUDENTS.

So does NSC lack faculty because it is short of money?

NO!!!

It has enough money to advertise for and hire "Institutional Research Director" whose pay scale is to be "$79,000 - $99,000 per year".

Normally when one says "Research" and "American Higher Education" in the same sentence, one gets visions of academics in labs conducting research and motivating their students to discover new subjects.

Alas, for NSC "Research" means that the function of the "Institutional Research Director" is to twist the data to produce reports that show that the wretched college is doing an acceptable job.

The NSC president shows no desire to hire faculty to teach students. Instead he has a "Institutional Research Director" to produce reports.

NO MORE TAXPAYER MONEY FOR NSC!!!
