The university system crumbles under its own weight, failing students and society alike. It is time for a drastic overhaul.
FO Take · Score 10
Universities, once bastions of enlightenment, now resemble degree mills, churning out graduates ill-equipped for the real world. Their curricula are stagnant, their costs exorbitant, and their value proposition plummeting. We need to dismantle this broken model and build something genuinely fit for purpose. Can we afford to let the ivory tower crumble entirely, or will we finally demand a phoenix rise from its ashes?
The strongest counter
While disruption is inevitable, the university system has a long history of adapting. Incremental changes, focusing on accessibility and practical skills, could yet save it.
