Great moments in collegiate marketing: your chance to get a ‘D+’ education

"Drake officials are standing by the D+ campaign -- which college officials crafted with outside PR contractors. Defenders of the ad blitz described it as 'edgy and intriguing' in a letter to faculty and staff this week. The letter explained that the campaign 'was designed to catch the attention of high school students who are bombarded with college and university materials to the point that they are often in information overload and unable to differentiate among the many institutions that have contacted them.'

The letter didn't explain just why an educational institution would want to attract a corps of students lacking the ability to distinguish among institutions of higher learning."
