    *"Nom de Plume" is a noted educator who has served as a professor and administrator at several  U.S. universities.  In order to more freely comment on critical issues in higher education, he asked to remain anonymous. In early 2002, "Nom de Plume" found it necessary to divest himself from many responsibilities, including these columns. Dr. Ron Whittaker has taken over.
