As the world / market forces require higher education to redefine itself, what is the point of higher education? What role does it play in our society and civilization? What role do we WANT it to play? #FTTE

Almost half of higher ed students in the US are in community colleges but you'd never know it from the outsized role the ivy league (and those that think of themselves as ivy adjacent) take up in our culture. #FTTE
How can higher ed contribute to the dismantling inequality when our public higher ed is defunded? When attitudes toward school and science are in decline? When college is seen as expensive job training? When attending a school is about "brand"?

Also college sports is Evil.
And with that I have to go to my next meeting!
