96.  Higher Ed Archaeology

The current condition of higher education presents an interesting look at its role in American society and society in general.  But it begs the question of how we got here. This kind of cultural inquiry has traditionally been the domain of archeology.  In this episode I’ll examine the current topography of higher ed and excavate several strata down to discover how the ecosystem has evolved from earlier eras. I’ll then discuss what we might expect to see on the current trajectory of evolution, and what we might learn from the ruins of earlier epochs.  Dig it!
