I suspect that no community will become humane and caring by restricting what its members can say.

Again and again, universities have put a low priority on the very programs and initiatives that are needed most to increase productivity and competitiveness, improve the quality of government, and overcome the problems of illiteracy, miseducation, and unemployment.

If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.

The most obvious purpose of college education is to help students acquire information and knowledge by acquainting them with facts, theories, generalizations, principles, and the like. This purpose scarcely requires justification.

The college that takes students with modest entering abilities and improves their abilities substantially contributes more than the school that takes very bright students and helps them develop only modestly.

Education, and I regret to say this as an educator, but there's no indication that education has a direct effect on happiness.

Ever since economists revealed how much universities contribute to economic growth, politicians have paid close attention to higher education.
