    In the newest QS rankings, we improved by two positions and are now in a three-way tie for sixty-third in the Alpha Quadrant with the Pakled Institute of Technology and Cornell.

    Ouch

    Oh man, as someone who’s been interfacing with a lot of university bureaucracy lately, this is so on point it hurts. I feel like you could get a press release from my university and swap in some Star Trek words and it’d be a similar vibe.

      As someone who checks comments to see if it’s worth my time to read the source, thank you for your service. And also as someone who checks primary sources, curse me for caring, I shall look because I commented…

      I didn’t.

    The signature at the bottom of the letter makes it all make sense.

    No worries, many of the students knew Romulan anyway.

      You’re a Romulan spy too?

      Thank goodness, I thought I was the only one!

    No worries, we all have universal translators anyways!
