Great Expectations for Higher Education

Dr. Amy Gutmann, the President of the University of Pennsylvania, gives a talk entitled "Great Expectations for Higher Education in the 21st century" as part of the 30th annual Pullias lecture series. The Pullias Lecture is dedicated to the memory of Earl V. Pullias, professor emeritus of higher education at the University of Southern California and is the oldest endowed higher education lecture series in the world.

Dr. Amy Gutmann took the helm as the eighth president of the University of Pennsylvania on July 1, 2004 launching the Penn Compact, her vision for making Penn both a global leader in teaching, research, and professional practice, as well as a dynamic agent of social, economic, and civic progress. An eminent political scientist and philosopher, Gutmann currently is Professor of Political Science in the School of Arts and Sciences at Penn, with secondary faculty appointments in the Philosophy Department in Arts and Sciences, at the Annenberg School for Communication, and at the Graduate School of Education. Gutmann continues to teach, lecture, and write extensively on ethics, justice theory, deliberative democracy, and democratic education.

College education is NOT THE WAY TO GO!

I have a video proving that college education is unnecessary, irrelevant and doesn't promise more money, better career, NOTHING!

Check it out to see the real truth.

Scratch that. Join in at the 12:00 minute mark to avoid the boring intros. It does just go on and on. Seriously enough with the back slapping in academia.

Once you graduate college, the expectations increase monumentally. New book released last week called "You Have A College Degree, Now What?" Have heard good things about it so far.

New studies show that 75% of Americas youth would not qualify for the military. Either to Fat, Stupid, or have Drug problems ( started by parents over medicating them when they were 3 because mom or dad wanted a quiet kid that sat like a zombie)

This is a sad day for the United States.

I appreciate the ones who send such videos on youtube, it educates us even not attending the conferences.
