Good morning, A couple of stories about college. ELITISM IN COLLEGE AND CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT OF SUPPORT IN COLLEGE From Peter Bain: I worry that a combination of ever-prohibitive economics and a perception (which I concede is all too rooted in truth) of elitism, privilege, and unspoken bigotry, is working to edge [liberal arts colleges] into irrelevance. I would love to see them reform and resurge, leaving behind the non-meritocratic elitism and privilege of their pedigrees and embracing the merit-based ecosystem that should have always served as their foundation. I do worry there is risk of institutional suicide if these colleges don’t find ways to deliver a liberal arts education to a 21st-century society.
