National Review: End student loans
It’s no secret I’m against the student loan scam, but I’ve been fairly alone in identifying one of the two core problems with our higher education system (the other is corrupted accreditation). Don’t get me wrong, the Leftist takeover, student-as-customer paradigm, adjunctification, bureaucratization, boiler-room classes, and quite a few other problems are all issues…but these […] … learn more→

More money to be wasted on failed Community Colleges
It really is remarkable how when a government program or agency fails, the response is to pour even more taxpayer money on it.

Why regional universities are at risk of going under
Unless the federal government changes its funding policy for universities, less well-off ones, particularly regional universities, are going to fail. In Britain, it is already happening. Several bankruptcies are imminent. In Australia, many are clearly in financial difficulties and are trying to raise money any way they can.

A PhD in 2 years… or less?
I used to get raised eyebrows and looks of disbelief, when I responded to the question: ‘how long did it take you to get your PhD’ with the answer: 2 years. I could have said 14 months to submit and 22months if you include the graduation ceremony, but that would have been pushing the limits […] … learn more→
Don’t give your thesis examiner a bad first impression
My hunch is that I’m a lot like most thesis examiners. When we get sent a thesis we often don’t plunge in straight away. We have a bit of a look around first. That’s not an unusual response to a new text. Think about book shop behaviours. Most people usually check out the title and […] … learn more→
