Accreditors keep hundreds of colleges with low graduation rates or high loan defaults alive.

It’s worse than graduation rates. I wrote.
The fish stinks from the head. I know, I have taught at the head and the tail. The real stink comes more from not educating than it does from not graduating – and the smart people at universities know that well, but care little.
At the tail – a regional state “university” – I saw shockingly unqualified “professors”.
At the head – an “elite” private university – I saw, not only how education was degraded for the purpose of achieving happy “consumers”, but also how government national need grants could be used to fix that need – by producing unqualified “professors” to teach at – guess what? (See the previous paragraph for the answer.)
I left higher education (I was a math professor.) to start a blog www.inside-higher-ed.com . Only someone with inside knowledge of the opaque workings of universities can tell the real story. Go to the non-commercial blog, to read posts and documents that tell what is happening. We need to change this, for our economy, our society, and our kids.
