Universities like Cornell and Brown have jumped on board.

Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition (轉換) to academia more attractive, according to Lee.

Then progressed on to universities.

Nottingham was one of the universities I put on my list

As universities go digital, students are complaining of a new hit to their finances that's replacing—and sometimes joining—expensive textbooks: pricey online access codes that are required to complete coursework and submit assignments.

Making is available to ordinary people who aren't tied to big companies, big defense labs or research universities.

Okay, so cats may not be the next physics faculty members at America's most important research universities.

These companies, which long reaped big profits as textbook publishers, have boasted that their new online offerings, when pushed to students through universities they partner with, represent the future of the industry.

Universities posted research data on the Internet, so students could find valuable information without leaving their dormitories.

Across the board, American colleges and universities are not doing a very good job of preparing their students for the workplace or their post-graduation lives.

All the universities are owned by the government, so there is the ministry of Education in charge of creating the curriculum for the universities and so there's not much room for flexibility.

American universities, despite their global reputation for excellence in teaching, have only begun to demonstrate what they can produce in real-world learning.

Big name schools are not necessarily the best places for professors; plus, many professors split teaching time between multiple colleges and/or universities.

But what was really important about that was the universities stand out as places that really are about the authority of ideas.

By sanctioning this watered-down version of college, universities are "catering to the social and educational needs of wealthy students at the expense of others " who won't enjoy the financial backing or social connections of richer students once they gra

For students who have been coasting through college, and for American universities that have been demanding less work, offering more attractions and charging higher tuition, the party may soon be over.

For the rest of us, however, our hearty lower-tiered universities are just fine, thank you.

However, there are certain advantages of public universities, such as the fees being free.

In some cases, colleges and universities might have to change their training programs, adding another layer of difficulty.

Indeed, our schools and universities are structured to mould pupils to be mostly obedient servants of rationality, and to develop outdated skills in interacting with outdated machines.

It's not easy, but having only public universities also might not be the best solution.

Looking back now, nine years later, I can't remember exactly what it was about these universities that made them seem so much better.

Maybe students who choose less prestigious universities are bound to succeed because they are determined to.

Morgan said last week that he would retire at the end of January because of the governor's proposal to split off six universities of the Board of Regents system and create separate governing boards for each of them.

Morgan said those findings—which included data from the system's 13 community colleges, 27 technical colleges and six universities—were part of the decision not to move forward with Governor Bill Haslam's proposal to privatize management of state building

No wonder it has become fashionable to denounce many universities as little more than elaborate con-tricks.

Now, in Japan, public universities are considered to be the best.

Perhaps the reason why so many universities offer their students so little is they know studying at a top university remains a brilliant investment even if you don't learn anything.

Perhaps we can learn from Japan where they have a system of private and public universities.

Recruiters circle elite universities like vultures.

Still, Jones represents a small percentage of first-generation students who are able to gain entry into more elite universities, which are often known for robust financial aid packages and remarkably high graduation rates for first-generation students.

There are also dozens of summer camps—many attached to universities—that aim to prepare elite math students.

Ultimately, that's the thing universities don't want to admit.

Wealthy universities talk up the benefits their name will give graduates: namely, strong alumni networks, star faculty, and a resume boost.
