I've stopped posting links from Inside Higher Ed because it has started putting up paywalls in front of them. To judge by this article I'm not missing much. "Idiocies that used to be a comment left in an actual news article (one which you could ignore) now have been promoted as opinion pieces on IHE." I've always felt IHE had an advocacy function to a certain degree, and of course a paywall limits the effectiveness. Anyhow, Apostolos K dissects (and eviscerates) an article from Ray Schroeder called Demise of the Baccalaureate Degree. It being October 1, I wasted my "last article of the month" from IHE on this. It's essentially the tired old trope "of the university being too slow to adapt and teaching dated materials." See you in November (maybe) IHE.
