The front page of HN has an article about Harvard Business School that claims the opposite of what you are saying. And in my own personal experience in the business world over the past few decades I've seen no evidence that university graduates leave with better understanding of ethics. In my own schooling, the focus was on learning computer science and little else. So while this "higher calling" might exist in theory I have serious doubts it exists anywhere in reality.
- sn9 10y agoBusiness schools have always been on the more vocational end of the spectrum. And that there exist many universities that fall short of some ideal of the university education isn't really an argument against the ideal. I'd argue that this is what happens when universities respond to market pressures.
- tchaffee 10y agoYou do realize most of the people running big corporations came out of elite business schools? I like the ideal. My entire point was that universities are responding to market pressures so at least we agree that is happening.
