[ExI] What Would an Ideal College Look Like? A Lot Like This...

[John Grigg]

"If you could design your ideal college from scratch, what would it look
like? Mine would look something like the following. Students would acquire
training that makes them immediately employable. They’d take courses in the
liberal arts that would sharpen their skills in writing, analysis, and
reasoning. And they’d graduate with some real-life knowledge, such as how
to interview for a job. There’d be no tenure for faculty, but instructors
would be made to feel they’re valued members of the enterprise. And
administrators would constantly ask themselves “how can we prepare students
for what the world needs of them?”
