I'm not trying to say that BYU faculty didn't train at good research schools. I am saying that I don't think the VERY BEST academics come back to BYU. I don't know the metric for this however.
I will say that if BYU has a monopoly on the best Mormon minds, the future isn't bright. |

Three of the four are excellent students, and the fourth is just a tad lazy. So, although I am nothing to brag about, I'm happy as the next guy to brag about my kids, even though one can always find some kid bigger, brighter or faster. As for my complaints, other than contention, I have no complaints and plenty of pride.

So could every other institution. I don't have a problem with trying to get better. I do have a problem with people arguing that BYU is not doing well. |
