THE CAMPUSES LOST IN THE CLOUDS: “If campus life is so bad, why would most of the student demands result in bringing more minority students, faculty and administrators onto those same campuses?… Karl Marx wrote that history repeats itself, first as tragedy then as farce. At least in the case of higher education he had it backwards. What was written as a comedy is playing itself out as a tragedy. Billions of dollars of private and public money have been spent on a remarkable infrastructure throughout the country. At least a trillion dollars of debt has been acquired by young people and their parents. For what? A growing chorus of voices wants to burn it all down, replace it all with online learning and competency credits.”
Wow — somebody should write a book or four on that topic.
