Get it Right Tori!

I suggest before you start denigrating Universities and people for your soap box conservative cause I'm all about protecting the public against wasteful spending as the next person. But I find your article to be self serving at least or fallacious in denigrating the University of Houston and Dr Khator to do your hatchet job . I see you did not bother to mention the ARWU or the World University Rankings which are some of the most respected college rankings for the entire world. I wonder why? Didn't fit the picture to make the points you wanted to make. Education ministers from around take their methodology quite seriously the ARWU and fine tune their nations universities accord to their methodology. Just so you know the University of Houston ranks in the top 200-300 Universities in the world public or private and the top 79-101 in the USA. World University rankings it's 301-350. Your are nothing but muckraker vis-a-vis early 1900's and a hack reporter out to make a name for herself. I suggest you do more research before you start reporting things to the public or your going to find your credibility is going to be severely impacted and impaired. Also do you know Dr Khator has raised over half a billion dollars for the University since she came to UH , I say the University of Houston is getting handsome return on their investment. The University has a 1.49 billion budget has 3.8 billion plus economic impact on the city of Houston. She is worth every penny she gets paid, more than I can say for you.
