I agree that "success of our students" should not be a university's primary concern, nor should it be the student's concern, as in "preparing for the job market."

. . . with the consent of the governed. The TRUE consent of the governed. The problem with rank is that it stifles creativity and concentrates power.

For-profit education stocks hit on legislation fear
Please see the link I supplied at http://www.sandiegoreader.com/weblogs/news-ticker… and Don's comment. Since the "country's egregious education failures . . . involve our nation's future," what should be our strategy in moving it in a better direction? Colleges and Universities should have charters--someone could work on providing a Word file on them. If there were enough people willing to devote just a little time to do this for one institution, then they could be assembled in one place and shared. A chart could be prepared that would illustrate the standards and objectives of the charters and group them according to their similarities--what they have in common, and which ones were outliers. Do "land-grant" institutions group well? Outliers, should then stand out from the herd, such as those with honest scholarship programs and other student-support rather than student enslavement-to-debt-for-life de jure or de facto policies, consistent or inconsistent with their own charters. Nail down hypocrisy, such as blather about "the success of our students being our primary concern" that is contrary to the evidence. That is, a project like this, given a disciplinary framework, could then develop a comprehensive study that is backed up with specifics rather than opinion and generalities without foundation or with the foundations hidden from the reader. That is, we could put our collective muscle where our "mouths" are and actually get something done. Don needs help. We can all start a "tree" where we disseminate information to our friends, thus increasing effective "circulation" and increasing eyeballs for the Reader. I have restrained myself from going into more detail to keep this short, and I want to encourage others to contribute their own ideas. I will mention in closing, however, that this might be taken up by one or more professors and their students--is that irony, or what?— March 5, 2013 9:23 a.m.
