For-Profit Colleges Change Higher Education's Landscape

Chronicle of Higher Education falls down on the job

Objective measurement is in no way try to intimidating the 'traditional higher education' but a fair mechanism that protect the public and it happen to be in favor of GOOD old 'traditional higher education institution'.

It's hard to believe that the traditional university and colleges still don't think that an objective measurement of their graduates is not only the right thing to do but also an indicator of their quality. Why are they against it? I can't understand their logic. But I hope it have nothing to do with their fears of comparison. If that is the case, I am afraid that even I will begin to question the quality of the education our kids are receiving.

It seems that the second article pointed to the problem of quality. That article is written by former Chronicle staff. To my opinion, the Chronicle is more of a 'Higher Education Insider', which, most of the time, defend the value of 'traditional higher education'. I actually wondering if the Chronicle have being actively support the idea of objective measurement of college graduates. At this point, I can only hope some of these people will finally realize that the support of objective measurement is in no way try to intimidating the 'traditional higher education' but a fair mechanism that protect the public and it happen to be in favor of GOOD old 'traditional higher education institution'.
