Headlines: News. Reliable sources report that Virginia Commonwealth University has quietly added to its curriculum more graduate than undergraduate programs. While still unconfirmed, official spokesperson from the university president's office did not deny the allegations, even in light of undergraduate protests, faculty demands for increased salaries due to expand self-images, and governmental investigations threatened by academic research. The blue ribbon commission report accuses the university of insensitivity to the needs of prospective undergraduates and insulting the bachelor's degree by further minimizing its importance in an age of Ph.D. plumbers and house painters. The report goes on to accuse the allegedly liberal university of graduate study expansion because of internal feminist demands that bachelors is a form of sexist language. The public relations officer confirmed that of its 148 degree programs, only 68 are readily referred to by the university as undergraduate. Under pressure from journalists he disclosed that there are three first-professional degrees, 61 master's, and 16 Ph.D.'s. An out-of-state and therefore unbiased accounting firm has been brought in to tally the number of advanced degree programs. A few sources in the university itself suspect the reports will be upheld. If so, whatever the mixed emotions of surprise or disbelief, it is expected the citizens of the commonwealth will take to the streets demonstrating support of, or disappointment in VCU's bold move into graduate level education.
