That’s not the point of higher education.
Their jobs are to instruct. As part of that these other roles developed and became expected.
However, like healthcare, privatization got to a point where the money made a difference more than the research and other roles. This is not a failure of capitalism, business, or anything of that sort; it was just a problem of taking things that were considered important out of the equation, because they were not understood or justified; and we’re allowed to scratch our heads over this and wonder why, but it’s simply that it happened; things sometimes fail.
Should we guard against this?
Probably, yes.
Could it be crowdsourced?
Probably, yes.
- marmaduke 6y agoAcademy is not the same as higher education. The other part is people doing research and no teaching. These are people who then publishes their findings in journals for others to see. And if we’re talking about public universities, these researchers are already crowd sourced.
- 7800 6y agoIn the US there is no academy, to my knowledge. It’s another word for school.
- marmaduke 6y agoRight, I was reading it as academia, so, sure strictly speaking, there's academy which is just a school, and academia which connotes fundamental researcher, literature scholars etc who may never teach. The comment I replied to read as if they meant academia, not academy.
