Bruce,
I am pleased to tell you that the AARC Education Section has been listening to your concern and will have a symposium at the upcomming Summer Forum to address some of these very issues. Lynda Goodfellow and Terry Volsko will be jointly addressing this issue in a symposium entitled, "Managed Education". Lynda will address "Investing in the Future of Your Respiratory Care Program" and Terry "Improving Institutional Financial Stewardship and Clinical Affiliations". Both should be quite helpful .
