Book says many U.S. universities are waste of money
"Higher education has become the preserve of professors ... (who) really have lost contact with the main purpose of higher education, which is the education of students."Hacker and Dreifus are critical of many U.S. universities, noting the cost of a 4-year degree has doubled in real dollars compared to a generation ago. But education, they say, has not become twice as good as many colleges lost their focus. Hacker said the high price of tuition often has little to do with teaching. "Prices got to where they are because both universities and administrators spent like drunken sailors," Hacker said, noting Ivy League graduates often have average careers.
