Yeah, the article spends a bunch of verbiage handwringing about standards at community colleges, which is not representative of higher education generally. Honestly, we do have a huge trade school system in the US, certainly not enough to handle all of the lower skilled people who 'should' be in them; community college is the closest large scale analog to a trade school system is the US. (And, arguably, we want or woodworkers to understand basic algebra, too, if we don't want or couches breaking...)
