Workout notes are the end.
So, what is the purpose of a university? But…”not enough students paying enough tuition” means “no more university.”
Where is the balance?
I am NOT putting down job training programs; we need people to do certain jobs and students need to learn them somewhere.
And a “theory only” education doesn’t prepare someone for the workplace.
But a “technology only” education prepares the graduate to be unemployable as soon as technology changes; I’d guess that a firm grounding on the principles of a subject is more necessary than ever.
And there is something else. I think there is a value in: “hey our program is demanding; not everyone can get through. Are YOU one of those who can?” But that seems to be out of favor; instead it is “come here and we’ll get you through..”
But..again, “no students” means “no college.” But “shallow education” means “eventually our graduates won’t be respected.”
I am sorry that I have a lot of questions but no answers.
Yes, these thoughts are inspired by recent events (this is an idea of what happened). I’d rather not get into specifics as it isn’t my intention to attack someone who is working hard and making good faith, but difficult decisions.
