He summarizes the three major problems faced by America’s colleges and universities. First, our universities “are vastly too expensive, often costing twice as much per student compared with institutions in other industrialized democra- cies.” Second, though there are some important exceptions, students “on average are learning rela- tively little, spend little time in academic preparation and in some disciplines are indoctrinated by highly subjective ideology.” Third, “there is a mismatch between student occupational expectations COMMENTARY after graduation and labor market realities.” College graduates often find themselves employed as baris- Will ‘whiteshift’ save America from ethnic strife? tas, retail clerks and taxi drivers.
