I’m going to throw in a defense of saying both sides for the sake of argument. Both sides can be guilty of similar behavior and pointing that out should not imply symmetry between them. I personally find it frustrating to discuss topics that aren’t framed explicitly as right VS left because you immediately get piled of for “both sides aren’t the same!!”.

I like the idea in practice. We really need to hold institutions accountable for outcomes. But, I think there’s probably a better way to do this with less collateral damage on liberal arts.

Flip side, maybe we need to rethink these programs if it really isn’t leading to student success.
