I spent seven years teaching at an R1 and another decade+ in community colleges. In my experience, it’s more about (older) faculty self perception as gatekeepers than about students’ actual preparation (which is also problematic, often due to basic needs deficits).

Honestly, I think it has a lot more to do with tenured faculty who have doubled down on being the sage on the stage whose core mission is to weed out students who “don’t belong in college.” (Not All Faculty, but enough)

Agreed. In my experience, though, Higher Ed breeds innovation as marketable intellectual property (research), while the instructional practice side of its mission has largely stagnated (education).

No lies detected.

I’m in a hotel in Seattle for a work conference and we still have power, as does my house (though the storm is LOUD and taking down LOTS of tree). Thankfully, we’re not in the snow zone.

Same, but swap Saturn for Mars…

It took me all week to find my copy on my shelves. Thanks for inspiring the search.
