In an age where a school's web page is its most important information tool, most websites now include faculty biographies. But what do you find in those bios? The faculty member's PhD- granting institution, publications, research interests, etc. In other words, nothing that is of any interest to a student. Nobody cares where a faculty member got his or her PhD. Did you pick your undergraduate courses based on where the professors received their PhDs? Of course not.
