I guess it depends on what the intent is.
I don't think it's a good idea and is at odds with the purpose of a university.
You also tend to get a homogeneous faculty, again, at odds with the purpose of a university. My sister in law just started a graduate program at the zoo and out of curiosity, i checked out the department faculty pages. Every single faculty member did their undergraduate work there, and it was about 50/50 on going away to do graduate work before returning as faculty. Amusing.
One more reason I never went and would never encourage my daughter to go.
