Derek Bok: Can Undergraduate Education Meet Challenges?

competition ! that is the problem and that is the challenge to the status quo of higher education in the United States. So testing has nothing to do with anything more than money, but of course this is bringing them to realization that they have to be accountable for what they are collecting money to provide.

it seems as if state-run and private institution of higher education are worried that they failed to do their job,and they now want to bring in testing and accountability because for-profit universities or eroding their bottom line.

Wee have too many colleges out there, and most people in college today don't belong there. Most people go to college to warm a seat for four years, and then they expect a high-paying job. Oh, really? I don't know too many high-paying seat-warming jobs out there. More and more, even the Ivy League colleges seem to be just giant day-care centers for high school graduates who have no real-world job skills. "...perhaps a 'broadly-based' education is a luxury we can no longer afford". Indeed.
