Don't worry about the conclusion of the author, Matthew Doarnberger.

It has recently come to the attention of the media that Auburn University reversed an initial decision to eliminate the public administration major from the school’s curriculum in 2013. This reversal came as the result of resistance from Auburn’s athletic department. Apparently, the public administration major is looked down upon by much of the school’s faculty. But its popularity among athletes, specifically Auburn’s football team, is what looks to have kept it afloat.

So just how popular is being a public administration major at Auburn? Well, if you’re an athlete, quite popular indeed. Although public administration accounts for less than 1 percent of the school’s undergraduate student body, 51 percent of students pursuing this major were Auburn athletes according to 2013 statistics. Among this group were the university’s starting quarterback, running back, leading wide receiver, and several starting defensive players. In 2014, 32 percent of the football team was majoring in public administration.

The reason for having a major like public administration at an elite Division One athletic program like Auburn is pretty transparent. The unchallenging nature of the course material usually makes it easier for student athletes who are looking to focus more energy on their sport. According to an internal athletic department memo from 2012, “If the public administration program is eliminated, the [graduation success rate] numbers for our student-athletes will likely decline.”

Right? Without my 35 alts, the General Board basically would have ceased to exist 5 years ago.

Who is he, and why does he follow you and Vat around? I mean I get the stripe that he is, but with the recent join date he seems awfully invested?

You're much funnier than I ever gave you credit for, and I apologize that I never knew it!

NERDS!!

No it's not. From the education campus, to the art campus, to the whatever the hell is the administration campus, it's not very hard. Remember, it has to be inclusive and everyone has a right to be there. Hard would be unfair.



Too restrictive.

Stop quoting idiots or I will add you to the list.

Well, why was anyone of effective message from outside of the consensus ever hounded?

As you know, I really do not play the hidden alt game.



I would suck at it. All Socialists sound alike...

Quick Petey, quote the idiot so you can make the awesome list.

No no, don't quote me, idiot, quote the idiot.

Sigh, no no not Query you dipshit.
