Thing the Second: Irate law school grads say they were misled about job prospects. I suppose this is like profs telling hapless students, "Sure, major in (insert unmarketable major here)! You'll be able to get a great job." Would you like fries with that? For the law students, this is even more pressing -- and financially ruinous. The job market is flooded -- and was flooded even before the recession.

Thing the Fourth: OK, this isn't about university education, but it's worth a look because it's about that $10 billion "edu-jobs" thing that the government's done. OK, so the idea is to give money to school districts so they will hire teachers. But the districts still aren't hiring.
