I think it's a big deal that a university can't be bothered with proper grammar or capitalization. Maybe it's just the Wildcat in me, but I think it reflects poorly on the university that tries to make itself seem all big and important and yet ignores concepts that most of us learned in our elementary school years.
Clearly it isn't that big of a deal, especially since most people are too ignorant to understand that there is a mistake there. It had to be pointed out to them. You can't tell me that the people who were interviewed even caught it before ABC and others pointed it out.
I noticed the strange wording too! Except I thought they mean it.. No - ASU is not a "school for dumb kids." They made a mistake on the sign, big deal. That does not represent the students as a whole.
@matthewballen I dunno if you're from Arizona or not, but ASU is probably one of the easiest schools to get into... You don't have to have a sufficient GPA, you need a sufficient pulse.
@swatus We are ranked in the nation's Top 8 (with all of the Ivies) on our number of attending National Merit Scholars (students who scored in the 99th percentile on the SAT). Just because ASU's admissions process lets in a lot of the normal crop in addition to the cream doesn't mean that we don't have an amazing concentration of super smart students, many of whom turn down top privates to attend ASU's Barrett Honors College. GO NEW AMERICAN UNI!
OMG! MOM, LOOK FAIL! OMG! MOM LOOK LOOK FAIL! OMG I CAN'T WAIT TO TELL ALL MY FRIENDS SO THEY KNOW HOW SUPERIOR I AM! OMG FAIL! Talk about nitpicking. It was obviously written in shorthand. Good thing we have a bunch of self-important douche-bags running around so they can point it out and feel so proud of themselves for doing so. And a two and a half minute news package for this? Really? Some things in life just aren't important... and this is one of them.
Top 100 in the world in STD's? In highest drop out rate? ASU is an embarrassment to the Pac 10. ASU is known in California as the school that kids attend if they couldn't get into San Diego St. or other Cal States.
I think it's great! always nice school forgets put words sign. :) but ASU isn't even top 100 in the states. their score was like 121 out of 130 tier 1 schools. UofA wasn't much better at 101. But at least they are both tier 1
@youtuPSP Well, I'm guessing you are an ASU supporter. He is saying that "the (word) 'the' is missing." It IS correct. Your ASU education is not. Bear down, Arizona!
I don't see how leaving a word off a billboard is a big deal.....how many billboards have you ever seen with full sentences? It's not the point of the billboard. Most only have a couple words to get to the point....and bragging about being one of the top 100 universities in the nation can't be any less words than what they used. I would do the exact same thing.
we also party at yale, we just graduate and get jobs after...
