We link with little comment, knowing that the segment of our audience that cares about such matters knows what to think about them without our SWNIDish help.
Uncle Sugar is announcing a $2.4 million grant to three associations of colleges, mostly representing big state universities, to fund their development of standard means of assessing college students' learning in such areas as writing and critical thinking.
This is the latest on the struggle between our Title IV funders for what they call accountability and us higher ed "fundees" for what we call educational independence.
No comment, but we'll venture a prediction: by the time this money is spent, we'll be under a new administration with different priorities, and the outcomes of the grants will be so indefinite that the issue will remain about where it is now.
