There is a cowardice on the part of administrations, one which generates a refusal to stand up and take ownership of a liberal arts education. The justification is that people cannot AFFORD to send their children (or themselves) THROUGH such an educational experience because the economy does not support jobs upon graduation. That is a bull*&^$. The increasing costs of higher education are generated by the explosion of administrative gigs and the expansion of administration and high salaries. It is corporate. Make no mistake about it. It is corporate.<br /><br />The bottom line is that universities are motivated by a business model, by demand for profit, and retention (demand for profit through tuition), etc. Just look at how people are now recruited: by external headhunters! So sad that a Catholic University which espouses the values of liberal arts is succumbing to this model. It is cowardly. How much does the President make again? How much the Provost? CEOs need a lot of money, I guess.<br /> Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00880364506263308280noreply@blogger.com
