Dr. Mark Taylor, a professor at Columbia University, is the author of Crisis on Campus: A Bold Plan for Reforming Our Colleges and Universities.  Taylor characterizes American higher education as expensive, wasteful, and archaic.  He calls for reforms like:

• Eliminating tenure;
• Restructuring departments for interdepartmental cooperation;
• Emphasizing teaching rather than rarified research;
• Creating global networks;
• Developing partnerships among institutions, private and public, for profit and not-for-profit.

As a nation, we fail to make such necessary and sweeping changes, at our peril.  Like other bubbles that have burst, this one will devastate our economy and global competitiveness.
