There is a part of me that wonders whether it was my op-ed that triggered an opinion piece authored by the university's provost, in the same Statesman Journal. Perhaps I am one of those he implies in writing "some people have suggested in various public forums (including this newspaper) that one's time and money may be better spent not pursuing a college degree."
In any case, that is immaterial. There is a lot to debate, but I have a class to teach :) More on this later today, time permitting.
BTW, last evening, I emailed the editor of that paper an opinion essay, for possible publication as an op-ed, in response to this news item. If it is published, I would assume then that my name will be axed from more Christmas lists! But, that is the nature of the business, I suppose.
