RESTRUCTURE
What does the host institution really want?
Successful students (earn strong rankings) International diversity (expand candidate pool) Income (attract faculty, provide facilities)
IEPs provide all three but are rarely recognized for doing so.

If educators want to be treated as professionals, we should carry ourselves as professionals. Business attire in the classroom portrays an image of an educator who is proud of the work he or she does.
What degree of respect can teachers expect to
receive if they don't dress like role models intent on providing the very best education for their students? Would a doctor see patients in shorts and a T-shirt? Would an attorney enter a courtroom with flip-flops and Capri pants?...
