Pros

Bright students; institutional commitment to academic excellence. Administration routinely finds ways to add programs and opportunities. Modern, comfortable facilities. Grantsmanship valued.

Cons

Too much circle the wagons paranoia; administration through bullying; misguided understanding of loyalty by upper administration. Salaries apparently below competitive range in some disciplines.
