Several months ago, I posted on the value of a college education. We now have a new standard for useless college educations, and it is from Dartmouth. I have a degree from Dartmouth and know that it is a highly sought college admission. I am also aware that there is a struggle going on between alumni, who wish to maintain the high standards that go back to colonial times, and new left wing activists who are attempting to wrest control of this ancient institution away from the alumni and from traditional standards.
A previous attempt in 2006 failed and so the college administration has changed the rules, packed the trustee committee and has another ballot being voted on right now. For Dartmouth, the stakes could not be higher and those students threatened with a lawsuit because of their evaluations know it. The Dartmouth Review has the story.
