I don't look to find an educated person in the ranks of university graduates, necessarily. Some of the most educated people I know have never been near a university.

That's what causing problems in our world
That's what causing problems in our world
people without the moral on the board
I wish there was a university with moral degree
everybody has to have it from the boss to employee
All they teach our children is profit and more profit
do it even you have to legally or ilegally cheat
Use your knowledge to make money
you deserve to be rich, hell with everybody
So what if we have so many professionals graduate from best university
If they are insensitive to the poverty and enviromental problems in our society
We human like to blame problems on everybody around us
Even though we are part of the problems, so stop making so much fuss
A university degree without moral back up graduates a monster
who goes to the society and rub the people like a gangster

Violence or the threat of violence must never be permitted to influence the actions or judgments of the university community. Once it does, the community, almost by definition, ceases to be a university. It is for this reason that from time immemorial expulsion has been the primary instrument of university discipline.

To Say That The Man Is Harmless
to say that the man is harmless we dig
stories about his past,
first, how was he educated, and you find
out that he finished college with honors
in a Presbyterian university somewhere
in the most peaceful island of the
archipelago
second, you find out that he is a prayerful man
goes to church on Sundays
makes the sign of the cross
and takes the regular communion,
third, you also take refuge that he has
a family of his own
raised his kids in a way that
they all live a life in peace
and harmony with all the other
children,
finally, you keep track of his services
how he serves the poor
and the underprivileged
the marginalized sector
of our community
the last story that you know is that
the military arrested the good doctor
who was there in that mountain
of the poor people
curing the sick and
giving them medicine
now, he is dubbed as the communist
and the rest of the nation
is silent.

Charmless Man
I met him in a crowded room
Where people go to drink away their gloom
He sat me down and so began
The story of a charmless man
Educated the expensive way
He knows his claret from a beaujolais
I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kray
But then nature didn't make him that way
He thinks his educated airs those family shares
Will protect him

Academics often discount the value of top-rated sports programs in helping to develop a campus life and in contributing to the overall success of a college or university. Like it or not, the sports programs a college or university has are the front page of that university.

This is a value-added college education if I have heard one described. And what is the most remarkable about Delaware State University graduates - is they just keeping giving back.

We must not believe the many, who say that only free people ought to be educated, but we should rather believe the philosophers who say that only the educated are free.
There is nothing so stupid as the educated man if you get him off the thing he was educated in.

Sidewalk University
Sidewalk University a school we all know but wouldn't ancknoweledge.The teaching of hard life and inperfect people.Sneakers hung high off of telephone wires. Crowd walk ways and disrespectful people urine filled elevators.If you graduate you may survive the streets.Language in which others try to copy ebonicis is now in the dictionary.
I may want to travel to the great wonders of the world. Will I be safe? or will you see me on the eleven oclock news.Foreign ghettos and marvelous adventures will be great to see. My neighborhood I know each alley and each person.You call it dangerous I call it safe.You call it ghetto I call it home. Sidewalk University
Teaching about culture and style I learn more here then at harvard. Cumming personalities, rich food and life lessons all taught in one place My classroom Sidewalk University

My dad was dean of fine arts at the university. I was casting bronzes in the school foundry. I was using the university as a playground.
I now teach at American University and the University of Virginia.
