作者说这类(顶尖的或者不那么顶尖但学费昂贵的)大学的老师更注重搞研究而不是教学,认为"Winning the campus teaching award is the kiss of death when it comes time for tenure.","Undergraduate teaching is a necessary evil."
这些学校采取放羊式教学, 加一些几百上千人的演讲教学.
还不如社区大学,因为在社区大学,老师的专职就是上课.
那么是否IVY文凭更有利于找工作呢? 作者认为其实是因为学生本身比较聪明,再加各自家庭背景.而文凭本身其实并没有保障,"the New York Times reported that a quarter of Harvard's class of 1958 had lost their jobs, were looking for work, or on welfare, just when their careers should have been cresting...Many in the class of '58 thought their degrees ensured career success. They were wrong."(1958届有1/4的哈佛学子失业,他们当初认为这张文凭对职业会是个保障的.).
