Nerd News: Taking Back Higher Education?

Hmmmm:

Collectively, we need to take back higher education and restore its priorities; we need to reorient it away from money and prestige and back towards education, towards the students who acquire it and the faculty (ALL of them) that lead them to it. But, this cannot and will not happen until faculty acknowledge their complicity in the direction higher education has taken. We talk around the problem, we talk past the problem, we point fingers everywhere else, but we fail to look in the mirror and name our problem for what it is: WE have allowed higher education to get where it is, because we have abdicated our duty to govern our institutions and instead allowed those unconcerned and uninterested with its proper purpose – education – to use it to pursue other ends. It is now time that we take it back. 

Well, OK, but while I generally don't care much for admin and edu-crats, I have known and do know some splendid faculty who do care about all this and about education and students.  The generalized "we" is almost reductive.
