"A Realistic Path Towards Employability"

So, according to a new Harvard study, the reason why colleges are dumbing down so much is because we're sending too many dumb kids to college.

Well, in the event you were harboring stereotypes about the priggish elitist attitudes of ivy league northeast liberals, you've just been validated.  They are also, apparently, the type that haven't ever heard of "personal responsibility." Of the type that would have them own up to the fact that there is something very wrong with our universities, and it's not because of students' study habits.

Anyway.  I don't see the point.  The way things are going, college *is* becoming a big fat expensive bloated vo-tech school.  And half of the graduate schools too.  As employers no longer feel the need to train their own employees.  But why would they -- they're all temps anyway.
