美國教育部評大專的3準繩



This morning the Education Department said it was looking at three criteria to rate colleges: (1) economic diversity -- the percentage of students receiving Pell Grants (grants awarded only to low-income students), whose parents did not attend college, and who are from lower-middle class families; (2) affordability – what the typical student and his/her family have to pay, and (3) outcomes -- graduation rates, how many new graduates find jobs quickly, and how much money they earn over the long term.
All make sense (although I’m a bit concerned about the last one; I’d hate colleges to push their graduates into high-paying jobs, as opposed to, say public service). What do you think?
