:. In Defense of a Standard

Truman Considers Dropping ACT Requirement

What is going on at Truman State University these days? It seems that in the last year things have picked up steam rolling downhill. Truman is supposed to be a University that isn't for everyone, that's unapologetically pursuing the best and brightest students across the nation and around the world.

Why the change to a "let's let everyone experience Truman, whether they cut it or not" mentality?

Without a set standard, there are no standards. This sounds like the "reward people who don't measure up" idea that permeates (and eventually erodes) society in Ann Rand's Atlas Shrugged
and should have no place at Truman State.
