Here is the “..Large Question..” and its Obvious Answer. (Even though I’m a professor, please don’t sleep through this.)

To understand the real workings in the bowels of academe, see my blog inside-higher-ed . Click on “The Purloined Proof” to read a tale that complements today’s TImes’ story. More importantly, read “A Tale Out of School” to see how these same scoundrels consciously, purposely, and scandalously rob students of their education. Finally, click on the category on how higher education dumbs down K-12, to see how all of this is dumbing down a large part of our country.
