A future of higher education (or whatever it will end up being called)

Con­fes­sions of a Com­mu­nity Col­lege Dean: Uh-​​Oh:

Banks used to run on ‘bankers’ hours’; now they’re 247 oper­a­tions. Doc­tors used to golf on Wen­des­days; now man­aged care has ‘ratio­nal­ized’ the pro­fes­sion, arro­gat­ing the resul­tant prof­its to itself. What’s so sacred about higher ed? If doc­tors and bankers couldn’t defend their ways of life, what makes us think pro­fes­sors can?

Go thou aca­d­e­mic and read it. And think. And act.

One way or the other.
