We thought the Baptists were in the Palin camp of heaven-based rewards. Guess the kids at Baylor are cashing in a little early. Outside questions of appropriateness about campus administrators trying to inflate their average SAT score so they can improve their position on a US News and World Reports ranking, we think the $300 bribe, uh, incentive is a bad deal. The net is $255 (unless Baylor is paying the testing fee). It's a 3 hour and 45 minute test (not including breaks) so that works out about to about $1.13 a minute (if we did the math right, it's been a while since we had to deal with SAT-like math problems). The Baylor kids should renegotiate their deal. If they are going to be exploited for the sake of institutional vanity, they should at least be making a living wage.
