Center of Excellence 

When a tech company outsources and offshores expensive jobs to a cheap 2nd or 3rd world labor location, they give that new place a lofty name, as if it's god's gift to their future success, while it generally displaces US or other western (expensive) workers.

They'll trade one a $100k/yr Java coder stateside for a half dozen Sanjeev's in the Center of Excellence in Bangalore.

The Center of Excellence contributes directly to shareholder value, i.e. executive bonuses.

The Center of Excellence is in Bangalore. That makes Austin the Center of Expensive Mediocrity.

quality and excellence 

The two words used by the administration of any given American public school to describe its success. Often overused to the point where the words "Quality" and "Excellence" lose any and all meaning. Even if the school has had actual success in the past, the staff will always fall back on "Quality and Excellence" to describe the school as a whole, failing to use any other adjective. This is often seen in underfunded public schools in the Midwest, such as Williamston High School.

See also: "Robust", "Challenging", and "Long-standing".

"As the principal, I will insure a quality and excellence education for the students."

"Our dedication to educational excellence has never been more resolute."

"We are an incredible building with a strong, rich tradition of excellence... and uh... we have a very strong teaching staff."
