Most of the programs that other colleges and universities are putting in place are very specific programs to attract women, for example, into engineering and hard sciences.
For these students and faculty who are a part of founding this institution, they now have a skill or expertise in building new institutions that is important for all institutions making change. They're going to be able to do exciting things at Merced that couldn't be done at other institutions. I don't think it's a big gamble.
I don't see that, for the long-term, there are major issues.
