Elle Griffin writes some SANITY about college. Even better, she’s writing about a FEW colleges that have reverted to the Anderson model. They’re not tiny startups; they’re big universities with lots of money available.

BYU is followed by a dozen colleges and universities hoping to do the same—among them Georgetown University, Portland State University, and Utica University. As our degrees get more expensive, these universities advocate for making education solely vocational—relevant to how a student will make money after college.
Why should students spend a year studying art, philosophy, and religion when they are getting a degree in computer science?
Maybe it’s time to remove the “liberal arts” from our “liberal arts” degrees.

FINALLY some sense is starting to invade the realms of education, after more than 100 years of screeching insanity and cultural destruction.
Unfortunately almost all of the commenters are defending craziness.
