Ok--you don't like the Yale Story? Go here:

Way down at the bottom, you will notice that this guy took a BA at Stanford-then goes to Londa (same time as the Clintons?) While at Oxford he does not complete upper level work--merely another lower level degree. After a couple of years of "doing europe" he comes to Yale to do his upper graduate work--then and this is what I consider to be a real problem for all academic departments, schools ,etc. Then this guy stays on at Yale to become president--nice work if you can get it right? The problem is that I believe it to be intellectually incestuous to for grad students to become professors at the same school where they earned their degrees. I know, I know it makes sense to all of you--but it limits terribly the intellectual conversation.
