When I read the article, I thought the explanation regarding why a minority was cut was an explanation to the chapter, not an explanation to the PNM or anybody else. The next item being that a chapter could have an alternate voting method to override it if it seemed inappropriate is why I thought that. So a chapter would be notified "PNM A was cut because _____" and then the chapter could say "We want to run the alternate voting method on her because we don't believe you". That's how I read it anyway.

I think it's pretty clear from reading the recommendations that the people on the committee have no idea how MS is done at all. Nor do they understand RFM, etc. The reality is, with flex lists and such, nobody knows for sure who is cut until it would be too late to go back and re-vote, etc.

I'm also not sure they understand that the NPC has a standard recruiting system. You can't get more standardized than an NPC formal recruitment with RFM.

I'd really have to read the full recommendations to understand completely what they are referring to in a lot of the recommendations. The article is a quick summary and may be misleading. There are a lot of references that make no sense to me ... such as the reference to University funding of housing. Does Bama pay for the houses?

I'm also confused about this section "including coursework addressing multiculturalism and diversity in the core curriculum." Is this implying that they do not require a diversity class as part of their core requirements for graduation? If that's the case, that really surprises me as that's been part of the core requirements for state schools up here since the early 90s.
