BUZZ
Mark Steyn recently offered his definition of “university,” and it was too good not to share:
You can’t (as Obama wants to do) send everyone to university and still expect it to be “university” as that term was understood through the previous half-millennium.
It’s now a euphemism for (from the faculty’s point of view) a little light social engineering in the manners and mores of progressive conformism and (from the students’ point of view) an agreeable and undemanding extension of adolescence for another half-decade.
Whether it’s worth over a trillion dollars in collective personal debt or the attendant costs in later workplace participation, later family formation and general societal infantilization is another matter.
