"Stripping higher education,...of anything but pragmatic, technical or transactional courses completely undermines the mission of a college or university. Doing so changes an institution's mission from creating thoughtful humans and participating citizens to stamping out cogs for a machine".

Depressive realism: it sucks but at least it's true.
