By Richard P. Keeling and Richard H. Hersh
This title was selected by NERCHE’s Deans Think Tank members as the centerpiece of discussion for their May 31, 2013, meeting.
From the authors: “America is being held back by the quality and quantity of learning in college. This is a true educational emergency! Many college graduates cannot think critically, write effectively, solve problems, understand complex issues, or meet employers’ expectations. We are losing our minds--and endangering our social, economic, and scientific leadership. Critics say higher education costs too much and should be more efficient but the real problem is value, not cost--financial “solutions” alone won’t work. In this book, Hersh and Keeling argue that the only solution--making learning the highest priority in college--demands fundamental change throughout higher education.”
