PRESTOPUNDIT -- A Good Blog at a Great Price. Guaranteed.

Cutting Edge Technology. Coming to you from the engineering capitals of India, China and South Korea. Meanwhile, America is expending its treasure on post-grad work in Literature, Sociology, and Political Science, otherwise known as Advanced Anti-Liberal Studies. And in an not unrelated development, Americans in droves are turning their backs on the wealth producing fields of engineering and the physical sciences. What can we do to help the geeks in their losing competition with the freaks?

Here's a suggestion -- change the funding system of the university. And here is how. Combine the wealth producing fields of science and engineering into independent universities completely outside the control of the wealth consuming disciplines -- with absolutely independent funding structures. Just a thought. Posted by Greg Ransom | TrackBack
