問題詳情

In statehouses all over America this spring, politicians once again wrestled with the vexing problem of how to fund higher education. Their deliberations took place against a backdrop of finger-pointing and pain, as they searched for someone to blame for skyrocketing tuition. There are plenty of candidates, including the states, the federal government, universities and students themselves. But I worry that amid the din of recrimination, a major point is being lost: Our cherished higher education system, once a source of national pride and international envy, is now threatened with what I call “graceful decline.” Unless this threat is addressed, we face the likely prospect that our leadership in the knowledge-based economy will erode. If we lose that edge, we won’t be able to sustain our extraordinary standard of living. Since the middle of the last century, we have funded public higher education based on models that reflected a prevailing societal consensus. Each model has held for about 25 to 30 years, until either the consensus changed or the model could no longer be sustained. Our current funding model is now at the point of collapse. It’s time to ask: Where do we go from here?

【評論內容】今年春天在美國各州的州議會，政界人士再次與如何資助高等教育的棘手問題搏鬥。他們的審議是在指責和痛苦的背景下進行的，因為他們正在找一個人去指責學費飆升的問題。（46題)有很多候選人，包括州、聯邦政府、大學和學生自己。但我擔心，在譴責聲中，一個重要的觀點正在被遺忘：我們珍視的高等教育體系曾經是讓民族自豪與使國際嫉妒的泉源，現在受到我稱之為“graceful decline（優美的衰落）”的威脅。除非解決這個威脅，否則我們將面臨到在知識經濟領域的領導地位逐漸削弱的未來。如果我們失去了這一優勢，我們將無法維持我們優質的生活水準。自上個世紀中葉以來，我們已經根據反映當時社會共識的模型資助了公立高等教育。每個模型都持續了大約25到30年，直到共識發生變化或模型不再適用。我們目前的融資模型現在正處於崩塌之中。現在是時候問：我們要從哪裡開始改變？
