NMSUA is a branch of NMSU and a community college. The web mastery
degree is an AS as we cannot offer a four year degree.

Yeah, more venting than anything else.

I won't either. I just get frustrated that what I know to be correct
is so difficult to find out there. There are literally millions of
pages of horrid markup and practically none that can pass validation to
strict. With all of these schools putting out such garbage, it makes
it difficult to justify time and effort to my superiors in my job as
webmaster and it makes it difficult to justify to my students in my
classes. After all, what they see looks good even though it is nothing
more than tag soup.
