If you ask any organic expert to name the top 100 people in the field, not one would name MMY. Second, what exactly did MMY predict and what does it have to do with an article on the potential benefits of organic agriculture?? This was corroborated by a friend of mine, who is working to promote MUM's organic/eco curriculum. When he started his job, he figured that MUM would be a vanguard in the field, but as he began to look into it, he realized that MUM was not on the cutting edge at all and had a lot of catching up to do. But still, I really admire the efforts MUM is making in this regard. If they stick to it, this area could be a major attraction for potential students. As it is, the main thing keeping the university alive is the international students coming to study computer science. Most of them aren't much interested in meditation. They just want to get into the US and get a good education. So such a large contingent of kids with a ho-hum attitude toward meditation definitely effects the vibe on campus.
