The
USC Daily Trojan has published an article that I like. I moved from UCLA to USC because I saw the private university's momentum and ambition. My department's goal is to be as good as our football team. The University aspires to be Stanford. That's a good goal and we are working to achieve this. The University of Chicago's economics department has been rewarded for building up a very strong major. Their Deans have invested heavily in that department. I hope (and expect) a similar dynamic to play out at USC.
