No, college started out as academic institutions of learning, not instruments of social mobility. It was never intended as a job training program, rather a place of academics to work together on a topic, and was heavily restricted to the aristocrats and elites from the start.
Alot of the problems here is stemming precisely from trying to use higher education for a purpose it was not originally designed to do.
- mathiaspoint 1y agoYes. University needs to be university. It's never been good at being other things. People have completely forgotten why it mattered on resumes to begin with. Association with a university signaled an appreciation for philosophy, now it signals tolerance for administrative abuse.
