The Point of a College Education by [[C-SPAN]]
Orson Welles quote about so many of him and so few of you at a lecture to 3-4 people in a snow storm.
statistics about the drops in humanities (~42:00)
consumerist spirit in higher education (45:00)
student evaluations (47:00)
education is a buyer's market now instead of a seller's as it had been in past generations
grade inflation
consumerism with respect to feminism and women's studies, gay and lesbian studies, multiculturalism in higher education
radical education as "going to the root"
in short, "let us entertain you" as consumerist education
"The job o education is never finished."
The hidden point of a University of Chicago education: Be an artist, be a scientist, be a statesman, be a teacher of artists, scientists, or statesmen.

Considerable research indicates that college students are bothmore likely to persist and to perform at high academic levelswhen they perceive themselves to be members of a cooperativeand supportive learning community (Kuh, 2009; Tinto, 2006;Zhao & Ku, 2004)
For another study, being a member of a cooperative and supportive learning environment may moderate the rates for persistence and academic performance in college.
