    It's too easy to criticize the follow-up story below based on grammar, etc. It was obviously written/translated by a person with imperfect English. Read for content.

    While you're at it, go to the allafrica.com website and click on the "education" link in the left margin. It gives stories about the problems/successes in education throughout Africa. I guarantee that if you read these stories once per week for a month then you'll have a new perspective on education (not to mention, life).
    Sorry, it's the Social Worker in me.

    Thanks, Jack. All I would add is that whatever its massive problems, UL is a legitimate university, if badly wounded by the horrors of the last 14 years. I appreciate the writer's evident moral zeal. The only thing I would care to point out is that there are many things worse than the old Americo-Liberian oligarchical government--and that Liberia has experienced almost all of them since its horrific overthrow.
