The Evolution of Higher Education
Elite universities are moving towards permanent test optional policies, with Columbia already making it permanent. These institutions are primarily credentialing institutions rather than centers for teaching life skills or essential knowledge. The original concept of colleges fostering good citizens and intellectuals has disappeared. Modern colleges focus on the 'college experience,' which includes activities like partying, drinking, and drugs, fostering a left-wing perspective. Universities now primarily serve as sorting mechanisms rather than intellectual development centers, akin to the ban on using IQ tests for employment due to discriminatory concerns.
