Reseña del editor

Two decades ago the report known as "A Nation at Risk" sounded a national alarm: Our public schools were falling apart. Today, we are at even greater risk. Colleges and universities are succumbing to market-driven, bottom-line thinking, and must take responsibility for a serious erosion of quality in undergraduate education. Attainment of a college degree now no longer signifies any special achievement. "Higher" education's standards have been lowered. In Degrees of Mediocrity, a tie-in to an important PBS documentary, Tom Wolfe, Arthur Levine, Jim Fallows, Carol Schneider and others sound an alarm, offering a no-holds-barred examination of the causes of this nation-at-greater-risk phenomenon and provide suggestions for what we must do to improve a system so vital to the nation's future.
