I was alerted to two articles that speak to the future of higher education and they are both sobering. Perhaps you are an administrator or a faculty member who is experiencing some of what is being talked about in the articles. Either way, there is a concerted effort to cheapen what educators do in this country and if we do not take a stand we will find ourselves to be falling further and further behind Inda, China, and the rest of the world that is taking a bolder brighter path to educate its people and compete and win for the future.
Read the first article at appeared in the Nation by William Deresiewicz--"Faulty Towers: The Crisis in Higher Education" http://www.thenation.com/article/160410/faulty-towers-crisis-higher-education
The second appeared in the Chronicle and penned by Margaret Miller:
