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.
See my post #11. I agree that colleges are not preparing students to enter the job market and that our K-12 educational system needs to be reformed similarly. We need an apprenticeship track for high school students to prepare them to work in the trades. Partnerships with business and industry could be used to facilitate the process.
But the elephant in the room is the changing demographics of the student body. The failure to provide adequate education for blacks and Hispanics plus cultural linguistic and economic factors will make us less competitive. And open borders are overwhelming our schools, hospitals, and prisons.
