“Put the students first,” is *always* used to justify educational decisions. The more vehement the insistence it is “best for students,” the crummier the idea tends to be.

@garyackerman At the first level, it sounds good, but it's a tautology, so it's really an empty statement. At the second level, this is the classic marketing trick where you advertise your weaknesses to fool customers into thinking they're strengths.

(My favorite: electric cars advertized with 300 miles of range, while gas-powered cars get double that).
