Over 4,000 colleges and
universities now enroll over 17 million students. College has become
a huge growth industry. Unfortunately the industry has also changed
and mutated negatively, with far too little oversight of quality.
Colleges
appear to be primarily in the business of acquiring students,
differing to a degree, only in their approach to marketing.
Some
do so as research centers. They may boast professors with science
awards and Nobel Prizes. These are very appealing marketing devices.
Such esteemed faculty also attract grants and endowments, as well as
students.
But that’s a façade and not a teaching-type institution in which to
attend.(See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments and
