amen to both points. IMO, if AZ had deferred recruitment, a sizeable percentage of the PNMs wouldn't be eligible to go through recruitment at all, due to either low GPA first semester, or to their behavior (you can fill in the blanks here). It would help reduce the numbers in the new member classes (campus total is 200, quota was 83 last August). We wouldn't have to sort through 1200+ PNMs in the dreaded heat and thunderstorms of August. I'm all for it, but doubt it will ever happen.
