Oversight of Higher Education Responsibilities

Legislators should increase their oversight of higher education institutions by requiring deans, provosts, and chancellors to account for student workloads and educational outcomes. There is a significant concern that students often do not engage fully in their studies while still paying high tuition fees. This oversight can involve examination of course documentation and student work, highlighting the need for accountability in institutions that are funded by taxpayer dollars. By enforcing stricter evaluation measures, lawmakers can ensure that students earn their diplomas based on genuine academic achievement rather than minimal effort.
