I just wanted to say to N4L thanks for initiating a thought-provoking topic as this one; we needed a topic such as this.
I tip my hat to SGRho and Zeta for having the foresight to address such membership issues by forming such auxillaries as Philos and Amicae.
But to the others, lemme ask you something. Irrespective of what your current membership policies may state, how do you feel about situations such as the one N4L mentioned? Do you feel that your membership polices should be modified to accomodate junior college graduates (Remember, community colleges have only been in existence for the last 25-30 years or so), or do you think the membership policies are fine as is? Should sucessful junior college graduates be "penalized" from membership because of a stigma that a 2-year degree does not carry the weight of a 4-year degree?
I ask this not only as a Bachelor degree recipient, but also as an Associate degree recipient.
Lemme know what you think.
