    Conclusion: the adjunct model is suitable for colleges that cater to average students and less-qualified students.
    Just pointing out I was playing with their own words. It was not a serious comment.

    This was hilarious! So Ma can basically provide a money back guarantee to just about anyone, do no work whatsoever, and then get paid because some kids will get into the schools without any help anyway. And to make it sound like he is doing some work, he can be demanding and pushy of the kids.

    Why didn't I think of this first?
