“A perfect storm”

For a good use of a few moments of your quality time this holiday between semesters, we commend to you the short article A Perfect Storm in Undergraduate Education.
The author asks a key question about national leaders’ priorities: “What good does it do to increase the number of students in college if the ones who are already there are not learning much? Would it not make more sense to improve the quality of education before we increase the quantity of students?”
Hmm, excellence. Where have we heard that before?
The article gives a laundry list of the sundry barriers to improvement, and the author might well have been studying the College Park campus when painting this sad picture.
