Description

The American higher education system is broken. Colleges and universities are shifting far from their roots as centers for academic scholarship into pools of adult infants who barely mature and are provoked by the slightest non-conforming opinions. Their inefficiency is setting students up to fail, wasting their time and providing little in return. And, instead of an atmosphere of intellectual curiosity, the campus culture is saturated with promiscuity, binge drinking, and partying. Why does it seem like the higher education system is collapsing? Why has it changed so little in such a time of major transformation in access to information through the internet? How can it cost so much more and take just as long to complete a standard bachelor's degree? This book sets out to find answers to the aforementioned questions.
