This thread is starting to eerily mirror comments from old threads re: certain tippy tops. The old, “I know someone who complained.” That really isn’t enough.
The usual response is: the way top colleges do it now works for those top schools. They get their supply of hardworking, determined, creative students, engaged in more than sitting in class and doing their homework. They graduate a very high percentage. As institutions, they are highly productive.
For all the supposedly disgruntled faculty, they could volunteer to get involved, offer feedback, many do. But there isn’t enough evidence in anecdotes to throw the baby out. Maybe, rather than insist it’s flawed and how it can be fixed, more folks could try to learn how it really works.
