The topic is controversial, but we are asking CMJ Net News readers to weigh in with their answers to this question: Should the education of mineral industry professionals be consolidated in one location or not?

Last week: Previously we asked readers what they thought of the US$12.4 billion Teck Cominco paid to acquire all of Fording Coal. Forty-four of you responded and 82% thought the price was too high in light the current economic climate. The remaining 18% thought the price was reasonable.
