On the whole, U.S. colleges and universities don't get everything right. They're overpriced, operationally hidebound, and ideologically stagnant. But American higher education does some things very well-well enough that students from around the world still choose to come to the United States to...

When legislators and officials of the University of North Carolina and legislators consider costs, they prefer to focus on minor operational functions - such as heating bills. But that is mere nibbling around the edges.

A lot of dollars are riding on how many courses professors in the University of North Carolina system teach (or how many they are perceived to teach). Roughly half of the UNC budget consists of professors' salaries.

A new faculty promotion system at one of North Carolina's largest community colleges could increase the school's focus on education. On the other hand, it could be a sign of "mission creep," as the college joins a recent trend of community colleges striving to look and act like universities.

A widely held view in the national press and certainly among academics is that we've come a long way in overcoming prejudice. Presumably we're now more open to a wider variety of opinions than ever before.

It happens at the end of every semester. As final grades are computed and entered, faculty all across the United States hear those inner demons talking. Some expound quite loudly; others merely whisper.

"Universities for a very long time have been based on trust." So said the provost of the University of North Carolina, commenting on a report that a course taken mostly by intercollegiate athletes had never actually met. Dozens of other courses may have been similarly fraudulent, and a criminal...

Perhaps the most glaring weakness among American college students is their writing. Many enter college lacking the ability to put together even a single good paragraph - and graduate without much improvement. It has been that way for a long time.

As the old saying goes, "What's good for the goose is good for the gander." But some North Carolina professors have decided that they are neither goose nor gander.

Every two years, the General Assembly appropriates money to the schools in the UNC system to cover the cost of instruction - primarily professors' salaries and benefits. But the formula used to determine how much money the system requests is outdated, opaque, and creates the wrong incentives for...

The labor market for college professors has long been distorted. Tenure is a major factor; another is the presence of a massive labor supply glut, in the form of too many aspiring faculty members for too few full-time jobs. In some ways, the faculty labor market now resembles the market for...

If Neil Gross's analysis of the "why are professors liberal?" question is weak (as I argued here), his analysis of the "why do conservatives care?" question is appalling.

Why is it that the great majority of college professors are liberal (i.e., hold mostly to "progressive," pro-state ideas about politics and economics) and why should conservatives be concerned that they are?

The humanities, once the core of higher education, have fallen on hard times. Today's emphasis on education for jobs combined with humanities professors' rejection of their own foundations are chasing students from the study of the liberal...

Two East Carolina University faculty members may not be walking the red carpet at the Academy Awards on Feb. 24, but they will be on Hollywood Boulevard studying the stars as they arrive and specifically the brands presented there.
