Victor Davis Hanson (who is in residence at the Hoover Institute at Stanford) makes a modest proosal to reform colleges that are charging students a bazillion dollars for an education that all too often doesn't even qualify them to handle the counter at Starbuck's:
"... how bizarre that colleges audit high-school diplomas by giving college-entrance tests (their theory being that straight A’s from Selma High school in California’s Central Valley are not comparable to straight A’s at the Menlo School in the Silicon Valley), but the schools themselves are not audited. Surely higher education would not object to a national college-exit exam as a requirement for receiving a bachelor’s degree. Call it a smaller version of the bar exam, or perhaps a reverse SAT or ACT test."
I like it. Everyone else is regulated, as Hanson notes, why not colleges? Why not indeed!
