"That's where some assistence in the form of need-based scholarships and admissions placeholders becomes crucial, in my opinion. " For what reason Kevin ? Do we need 2 million more sociologists to satisfy a need to pass people a diploma ? It would be much cheaper to just hand them the degree. I recall taking a sociology test. Without opening a book I got 90 on the test. The questions were multiple choice and the answers were so simple. Yet 50 % of the class struggled and complained how difficult it was. And these were the people you are talking about. Mind you I was taking a BS in CS and these people were supposedly Liberal Arts types who were going to go out and save the world. If we can't get them when they are young in the earlier years then these people should be out working in a trade not going to school. Of course it is a free world but we seem to think today that anyone can get a degree. It is an expensive proposition and worse yet many of these people graduate and believe themselves to be educated and intelligent when the truth is they were passed along in an already watered down system.
