Everything's Great

A new Zogby poll confirms what everyone suspected:

58% of respondents found political bias on the part of college professors a "serious" problem. That's encouraging. Who was concered? 91% of those self-described as "very conservative" found bias a problem while a scant 3% of liberals believed so. None of this is very surprising.

Somewhat more interestingly, 46% of respondents indicated that they believed that the quality of a college education was worse than it was 25 years ago. Only 29% believed that it had improved.

A stirring vote of confidence in American higher education.

I'm more inclined to join 46% of respondents... Nowadays, the quality of education leaves much to be desired. There are lots of innovations and experiments that don't get a green light even though it is obvious that the changes are needed.
