a petition re the russian state university of the humanities (rggu)

[Renee (Stillings) Huhs]

My initial thoughts as well were that there is some other underlying reason
- conspiratorially I have to admit I first thought perhaps there is some
political reason, but Alina has reminded me of our own experience with RGGU.
Based on our own limited experience with them, which seems to sync with that
of others I have spoken with, it appears that while the instruction is very
good, administratively they are indeed very inefficient. Took them almost a
year just to get us an invoice/contract for a student. Sure, I didn't mind
not having to pay right away, but it was so atypical that I wondered if they
cared about money at all. If that is how they generally manage their
financial affairs, well, I'd have to say they deserve a spot on the "least
efficient" list.

One has to examine the reason why RGGU got on the list. Even Wikipedia  
will tell you that RGGU has an enormously long list of branches
