...prolonged-work ethic comes at a time when American companies face a demographics-driven crisis: What happens when the 76 million baby boomers retire? As older workers begin to leave work in droves, economists project a labor shortage of 10 million by the end of the decade. Some industries, such as utilities, education and energy, are already struggling to stanch the institutional brain drain.

In that vein, we certainly support UC initiatives to better ascertain the pulse of the student body. But we do so with significant caveats...
