Ordinarily, this is where an institution would brag about the caliber of its faculty and the rigor of its curriculum.
We’re not going to do that.
We don’t pursue prestige.
We don’t optimize for perception.
And we’re not particularly interested in impressing people.
We’re not like other educational institutions.
We’re worse.
If we were redesigning higher education from scratch, we’d delete most of it.
So we did.
We are objectively worse — and proudly underperforming — at the things that don’t matter.
We are measurably better at the things that do.
We reject corporate theater.
We reject ivory tower posturing.
We value performance over perception.
We take action. We build. We measure.
No applause required.
We value results, not posturing.
We believe that in time our results will speak for themselves and until then I suppose you all will have to just wait and see.
