Excerpt Chapter II: University students graduate without receiving a higher education.

Chapter II (The University and Its Problems) excerpt:


"The business of education is essentially drowning the art of education resulting in some of our university students graduating without receiving higher education."

Chapter II of U.S. Crisis: Art, Education and Society answers the following questions: What causes the lowering of academic standards at universities across the country? What are the differences between what the public perceives is happening at the university and reality? What are the characteristics of universities that are making the huge shift from liberal arts education to vocational training? What effect is university adoption of the business model having upon the quality of education and who is inevitably put in charge as a result of that evolution?
