[lbo-talk] Privatized Education Fraud: Stripping to Pay Tuition

[123hop at comcast.net]

A friend who works for one of the top university presses tells me that the people he hires from state colleges do a much better job than the ones he hires from the ivies.

Regarding credentialism, I made the point sometime earlier that a GOOD
student from Chico will get a better education than from a prestigious
university.  They will not get the benefit of as high a proportion of
really good students, but they will get far more attention from their
instructors.  Mark Thoma, who never took a class for me (perhaps that
is the reason for his success) is a nice example of what you can learn
in Chico.  Our department, however, is on life support.
