I never took biology, but I know what you mean.....Yeah, sometimes the 
priorities of schools get really messed up.  My university was ranked at 
the bottom of the sports rankings for pretty much every sport; I couldn't 
understand why they did sports scholarships (it is, after all, an 
aeronautical university with programs like aeronautical engineering, 
computer science, and engineering physics) but not generally for things 
like, oh, I don't know, running the computer lab network with 0 
downtime....
