End the University as We Know It

A provacotaive essay from the Monday 27 April 2009 New York Times. Buried within the argument against tenure and for a defragmentation of divisions within institutions of higher education is an argument for learning communities.

A must read, in my view.

Great find. Thanks for sharing this article. I like how he argues that we need to revamp the traditional way of grouping departments and go for a thematic-based organization. I also like the idea that higher education needs to catch up with the times and teach the necessary 21st century skills.
