Comment on Higher Education Notes by Dan Harding

Hmm…very interesting post. I was unaware of Harvard’s troubles, as well as the Texas program and its own troubles. My first impression of that program is that it’s an excellent incentive and reward for high school students. I also like your potential solution to the enrollment issue at UT-Austin. Although I wonder, at this point and with only three top-tier schools to work with, what else could be done in the short term?

I have long suspected (since I noticed the trend when I was at Mich. State) that public universities were being overly privatized. I have not, however, done much to investigate since…Thanks for the succinct and informative post.

This is the reasoning I heard almost verbatim from him a couple months ago and he never fails to tell people that he flies around the world talking about his book.

Another thing is the ridiculous statement that “if you look at where a lot of creativity happens it’s always been out in the suburbs. Silicon Valley is a suburb. A lot of the major universities are in suburbs.” The first is a nonsensical statement and the second and third are totally irrelevant.
