A discussion of for-profit colleges…

… will take place today on WBUR.

Christopher Beha’s adventures at Click-Thru U will be featured.

You need a subscription to Harper’s magazine to read what I just linked to; but here is the same author reflecting on what he’s learned.

[I]n broad social terms good educational outcomes follow from equality and not the other way around… [Thus,] the current prominence of Phoenix and other for-profit schools paints an even sadder picture than Phoenix’s critics might have thought. A society that can’t increase its roll of college graduates without sending billions of dollars in grants and loans to proprietary schools has problems that will not be fixed by the classroom.

UD thanks Dirk for the heads-up.
