Half of the children 18 and under are minorities with each cohort that turns 18 a higher percentage minority than the previous one. Blacks and Hispanics are not performing well academically compared to whites and Asians.
Blacks and Hispanics are less likely to go to college. Hence the trend of declining enrollment by Americans. Colleges are making up the shortfall with foreign students. Add to that college costs that are increasing faster than inflation, which discourages attendance of both American and foreign students. The bottom line is the business model for colleges and universities is doomed in the long term.
I agree it is doomed, as it is currently structured.
They need to eliminate lecturers and go with some sort of mass lecturer who has superstar qualities to his ability to speak.
I think we need to consider more on the job training, like we used to do. Work for 10 hours and go to onsite school for two hours. Something like that.
