Rutgers University Graduate
Normally those of us from New Brunswick want to make sure there is a distinction between Rutgers-NB and Newark and Camden. To a large extent, NB, Newark, and Camden are really different schools. But when someone from Camden wins a prestigious honor, the distinctions between campuses are not necessary. We are all one university.
Ok, but there is a tendency -- and there's some of it on this board -- to deprecate the "outer campuses," and that's why I wanted to specify Camden. It's kind of like what Albert Einstein said: "If I am right, the Germans will say I was a German, and the French will say I was a Jew. If I am wrong, the French will say I was a German, and the Germans will say I was a Jew."
Actually, Camden is not as "really different" as you may think. Yes, our students would generally not meet NB standards, but the faculty goes through the same tenure process, administered by exactly the same people, as in NB, and has the same scholarly orientation.
I think I resemble that remark. LOL
And I would use the word differentiate instead but also agree with what Upstream said...

Nice job, Mr. Pardlo!
