Are liberals ever going to catch on to the higher education mess? Well, at least one has, if I’m correct in identifying Froma Harrop columnist as a liberal (if not, sorry, Froma).

Harrop’s column, headlined “Higher Ed Needs Major Disruption,” manages to highlight several different weaknesses of current higher ed. I suspect that future historians will wonder, as she does, that society and government have encouraged people to take on more debt than they have accumulated on their credit cards for, in Harrop’s words, “multimillion-dollar pay packages for college presidents, country-club campus amenities and, increasingly, an expanding army of administrators tasked with micromanaging the drinking habits, sex lives and sensitivities of people who in any other American context would be considered adults.”
