Inside Higher Ed: Commission Report, Take 2
Gone are the statement that America’s colleges and universities face “grave” problems, an offhanded reference to grade inflation, and the controversial call for a “national” approach to higher education accreditation. In their place are descriptions to colleges as “treasured national assets” and to American higher education as “the very best system in the world.”
The second draft of the report by the Secretary of Education’s Commission on the Future of Higher Education, which was circulated to the panel’s members late Friday and could be released publicly as soon as today, differs significantly from the heavily criticized staff-written first draft that the commission’s chairman, Charles Miller, released two weeks ago.
