Thanks, Clive! The sentence appeared in a flyer on our campus. I was appalled by it, particularly because we are supposed to be professional level writers at this stage of the game, but I thought I'd get a completely disinterested point-of-view. Your criitique is spot on, and your revision exposes the flaws inherent in the original. You've put my mind at ease.
