Especially after reading your blog about how CMU was being evaluated in regards to its accreditation, it's a little unnerving to think about how the federal government can have such an influence. I guess I am just sheltered in regards to education because I have been in a private school system my whole life. It just seems like if you had the wrong kind of people on this commity, their influence could be used the wrong way.
