In academia, prestige is all that matters….

The Atlantic @theatlantic.com · 4d
For decades, “prestige was seen as synonymous with enduring value: Harvard would always be Harvard,” Jeffrey Selingo writes. But with sticker prices surging and graduates facing a tough job market, many parents no longer believe prestige is worth the price:
The ‘Best’ Colleges Aren’t the Best Forever
Prestige isn’t permanent.

I stopped complaining about college students “who won’t read” bc it has seemed clear to me for a while that a significant number actually don’t know how, or at least with any interpretive skill

I’m not sure how we address this in college, but it’s a serious issue!
