Nerd News: More NY Times Op-Ed Tripe About University Graduates

This isn't a sensible article about higher education. Nope, it's the attempt to create a crisis-panic, and it's a pretty bad attempt too. Meh. Take a look at this whopper of a line:

But high schools still produce many students who have the skills to complete college and yet fail to do so.

O RLY? Oh, where to start? There's so much that's wrong with it.

Takedown here. A bachelor's degree already means less and less; the pie-eyed idea to make sure everybody has one would ensure that a bachelor's means nothing, just like a high school diploma now basically means nothing -- not even an assurance that a kid knows basic math and language skills. Also, why won't people debate the idea that higher education is in crisis partly because it's been oversold? that we've crated a horrible higher-ed bubble?
