Coverage: 2 sources
Depending on whether people go to private or public colleges, the cost of a four-year degree runs between $108,000 and $230,000. Post-college costs, driven by loans, can add another $100,000 or more.

Goodbye, Belle Wheelan — The James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal

Over the last 25 years or so, one model of university accreditation has given way to another. Under the old system, colleges submitted to invasive but essentially nonpartisan examination of their finances, academic offerings, and faculty hiring. In so doing they proved their “acceptable quality” to the men and women in charge of student loans and gained access to that great, pulsing federal spigot. Under the new system, accreditors are themselve…Read Article

The Emptiness of “Antisemitism Studies” — The James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal

Following the shock caused by the antisemitic campus riots of spring 2024, Günther Jikeli spoke up.

Why Does American Higher Education Work So Poorly? — The James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal

After enjoying many decades of high public support, higher education in the U.S. is in serious decline. Polls show that a sizeable percentage of the populace now doubts that college is worth the cost and that it contributes to the public good. Enrollments keep falling, and the luster that a college degree used to confer on graduates has become tarnished, especially since recent events indicate that, instead of helping them mature, college turns …Education · United StatesRead Article

Foreign Funding’s Questionable Odor — The James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal

“Money doesn’t stink.” This proverb—pecunia non olet in the original Latin—is associated with the Roman emperor Vespasian, in justification of his decision to use public toilets to generate revenue. When the emperor’s son expressed disgust at the tax, Vespasian allegedly held up a coin, asking if it smelled. When his son replied no, the emperor observed: “And yet it is derived from urine.” Vespasian’s thoughts are oddly relevant to a contemporar…Money · BooneRead Article

A Year at New College — The James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal

It takes me about eight minutes to walk across the campus of the New College of Florida, where I just concluded a year as a visiting professor. There are rare sightings of students, a grand total of 800, who dart in and out from under the palm trees like white ibises. The clock bell on the astroturf in front of the library can be heard from the waterfront all the way to the student dorms. The all-faculty email list for the 100 or so scholars emi…Sarasota · SarasotaRead Article
