There are some political forces in Cleveland who apparently believe that anything good that happens in Northeastern Ohio must be located in Cleveland. Time for it to end It is incumbent on Gov. Ted Strickland and his chancellor of higher education, Eric Fingerhut, to squelch this Cleveland-centric nonsense. That they have allowed the movement to get this far is a more than troublesome because nonsense is the perfect word for the assault on NEOUCOM. It simply makes no sense to undercut this medical school, which was created to produce physicians who would practice family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics and obstetrics/gynecology at a community level. And is doing just that. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zips fan Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Great article! It really hits on some very good points. The school serves its mission, does not overlap with other programs in Ohio's educational system, and helps attract bright minds to the area. Why does it have to change or move? Are regional politics appealling strictly to the largest voting city or to what is best for the area? I am interested to see the proposed changes when they come out soon.
