Bowling Green State Just Going To Claim Christopher Lloyd As Alumnus Until Someone Calls Them Out

BOWLING GREEN, OH—Saying they could easily take advantage of the false assertion until someone calls them out on it, administrators at Bowling Green State University plan to start claiming Emmy Award–winning actor Christopher Lloyd as an alumnus, sources confirmed Friday. “Prestigious alumni can be a powerful recruitment tool, and seriously, who’s going to check to see whether he actually went to school here?” dean of admissions Karl Schuller reportedly said at a meeting of the university’s board of regents, later adding that even though it’s not true, it couldn’t hurt to start saying that Doc from the Back To The Future trilogy graduated from the theater program. “A prospective student would have to read our brochure, see the claim, somehow suspect we’re lying, look into the matter, and then confront us about it. Even if someone does do all that, who cares? We could still get a few enrollments out of the deal before the jig is up.” If the policy proves successful, Schuller said he remained open to the idea of adding Garfield cartoonist Jim Davis to the list of the school’s College of Arts and Sciences alumni.
"Regarding BGSU, I would think their biggest strength is that they never give up, They never slow down and they battle hard even after the other team scores. We have to be on our game and never, ever take the foot off the gas for a second."

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

Anybody who saw "Lazy Muncie" wwould bust you on the Jim Davis thing. Wow, you guys really have sunk to new depths, lieing to prospective students. I hope somebody nails this Schuller guy. That's not Alum87 Karl is it? This is really unethical, but I'm not surprised.

Am I the only one who doesn't really get the obsession with The Onion?

I just rarely find it funny.

I have the same feeling toward Dilbert...and I work in a cubicle! ;)

The Onion was great before they felt the need to post 50 things a day. Quality > quantity. Now they come up with something clever every now and again, but it's watered down by all the crap they throw out.

I never read the Onion. Saw it on Twitter, so posted it since it was about BGSU. :-D

My reaction exactly....I'm sure that Gary Swegan would be thrilled to know he's not director of Admissions any longer.... Is there REALLY a Karl Schuller? Couldn't find him when I searched thru staff, unless I missed it somehow.

Gary is still the Director. The article says Karl is the Dean of Admissions. Gary has a new boss, that's all.
ROLL ALONG!!!

Just more ammunition for the faculty and their rant about too many administrators.

Director of Admissions/Asst. Vice President for Enrollment Management
Dean of Admissions <--- New Position
Vice President for Enrollment Management

Hope Karl negotiated for the title of Associate Vice President for Enrollment Management as well.
