Un ensayo de análisis sobre la universidad americana, basado en un par de libros recientes (uno de los cuales ya mencioné en el blog), pero muy válido por sí mismo. El párrafo final es demoledor:
Here we have the frightening subtext of all the recent hand-wringing about higher education: the widening inequality among institutions of various types and the prospects of the students who attend them. While the financial crisis has demoted Ivy Leagueinstitutions from super-rich to merely rich, public universities are being gutted. It is not news that America is a land of haves and have-nots. It is news that colleges are themselves dividing into haves and have-nots; they are becoming engines of inequality. And that — not whether some professors can afford to wear Marc Jacobs — is the real scandal.
Y ya puestos, también me ha parecido una idea muy interesante, aunque no nueva, la de crear áreas interdisciplinares en lugar o en paralelo a los departamentos.
