...even suing one university. The rapidly expanding student loan crisis has, in short, revealed that colleges work in students’ best interests with surprising irregularity. Instead, the colleges all too frequently collude with lenders to inflate already-healthy profits, or at the very least, create the appearance of grave impropriety. These activities have struck such a nerve because students blindly put trust in their schools to lead them through the jungle that is the loan industry.

It may be true that none of us suffer a lost job, a busted romance or a failed exam...
...Faculty’s reticence to accord history its own place within the general education hierarchy raises grave concerns not only about the sincerity of the General Education program’s original goals—which, so it would seem, necessitate some historical literacy—but more importantly about the legitimacy of those goals themselves. The Task Force’s preliminary report emphasized the importance and inherent value of so-called “liberal learning,” defined as the “free inquiry undertaken without concern for topical relevance or vocational utility?...
