What Makes a “Good College“ – and Why It Matters | Cecilia M. Orphan | TED
Why are “good colleges“ often the ones that accept the fewest students? Exposing the harmful consequences of society’s obsession with highly rejective (and expensive) universities, educator Cecilia M. Orphan asks us to rethink what makes institutions “prestigious“ and consider directing funds and attention to where they’re needed most: regional public universities that serve all students. A call for schools to be judged by the opportunities they create -- not the ones they stifle.
