Buried underneath the Terra headlines this week:
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 — A federal commission approved a final report on Thursday that urges a broad shake-up of American higher education. It calls for public universities to measure learning with standardized tests, federal monitoring of college quality and sweeping changes in financial aid...
...the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, which represents 900 private institutions including liberal arts colleges, major research universities and church- and other faith-related colleges, attacked the recommendation to develop a national database to follow individual students’ progress as a way of holding colleges accountable for students’ success...
Not to mention the former students themselves. Imagine that, a government database the Company can access to follow the progress of an employee or a prospective employee.
...The association called the proposal a dangerous intrusion on privacy, saying, “Our members find this idea chilling.”
But count on it, there are right-thinking folks who think this is a very cool idea indeed.
