Ivory Tower questions the purpose of higher education in an era when the price of college has increased more than for any other service in the U.S. economy since 1978. While many college graduates struggle to find menial employment waiting tables and cleaning toilets, new student loans over the next 10 years will total $184 billion. Even the once-heroic, tuition-free holdout Cooper Union in New York City now charges students, thanks in large part to hedge fund loans and flashy facilities costing more than $170 million.
哈佛一出,誰與爭鋒。免費教育,南柯一夢。派對大學,紙醉金迷。深泉學院,樂在其中。

高等教育的使命不是职业技能培训,而是人格的培育、视野的扩展和人生意义的求索。
