Extract

Varying degrees of criticism have been leveled at the U.S. higher education system. The increasing money costs to obtain the bachelor's degree, and degree recipients who are noncommunicative, non-decision makers, and not exposed to the liberal arts have been voiced as deficiencies of the system. The Carnegie Commission has recently recommended reevaluation of our universities’ curricula and philosophies and U.S. Secretary of Education, William Bennett, has crusaded for education overhaul.
