I'm not sure about this project. The desire to teach more students with better outcomes is laudable. The desire to do this without spending more money, when we know we're spending money on things that have nothing to do with education--yes, college football, fancy dorms and rec centers, etc. And don't forget how administrative costs continue to rise. know some complain about professors who do more research than teach, and I admit, that can be a problem as well. What bothers me with this project is that we seem to be insisting that the classroom isn't our priority, at least when it comes to what we're going to spend out money on. The gist of this article seems to be, let's teach better--Let's teach more students better--as long as we don't have to spend more money.
