Interesting

I just read an interesting article about the necessity for change and adaptation in higher education so that American can continue to compete in the global marketplace. Here is an excerpt:

"This is not to say that the best American universities are no longer the leaders in discovery and innovation. They are. Rather, it is to say that the success of the higher-education system must be measured by more than just innovations. Its long-term performance depends on its ability to provide learning to a broad cross sections of citizens, to advance national proficiency in math and science and to create an adaptable work force, as well as to develop a national appreciation for discovery, entrepreneurship and the creative process. "

The article appears in this week's Newsweek magazine and was written by Michael Crow, the President of Arizona State University, my alma mater!
