With all due respect to the advice of the Policy Committee. In the column of your highest degree, as a senior undergraduate student, I will mention some major problems and crises facing higher education today. Hundreds and thousands of books have been published and will be published in the future that shed light on the crisis in higher education, but have any of these books changed higher education as we see it today? College is as old as this country, having been around for about centuries now, and the crisis in higher education dates back to the search for Utopia to the present day. Esteemed council of the political commission, what has changed? Colleges increasingly became corporate businesses, students became consumers, administration took control of faculties, money turned these institutions into greed, presidents began to worry about their pockets and dramatic cost shifting to attend college today has become almost impossible to ignore. However, whether it is a liberal arts college, a typical four-year college with dormitories, or a two-year vocational school, all institutions share a common problem and that is greed for money. Respected advice from the Policy Committee, these are some of the major crises we face today in almost every institution, regardless of whether the institutions are rich or poor. There may be many solutions to the higher education crisis out there, but I have a different plan in proposing some solutions that may interest you. One of them is how to manage or deal with corporatization and we all know that the university itself is a business problem and there is no way that this will be controlled or go away over time, but it will be worse than it is now. In this article... in the middle of the paper... there is something about the genealogy of these ideas and practices, the historical processes from which they emerged, the tragic cost when societies fail to defend them, and alternative ideas both 'within the Western tradition and outside of it.”( Delbanco pp. 31). According to the book the moral/ethical imperatives are for the modern graduate: college should be more than just a screener and is better than the rest. This is the place where students discover their ideas and fight to make a meaningful life out of them. Delbanco also states that it is the responsibility of future generations to protect and preserve institutions and that democracy depends on these well-educated people, while democratic values and morals depend on well-educated future generations who can bring peace, happiness, justice and respect for community.
