Universities can’t fulfill the myth, but they can’t become vocational schools either

"Is it time to rethink higher education? I'm someone who went through
the system and I'm now, to a greater or lesser extent, contributing to
its maintenance, so it seems strange that I should advocate its
dismantling. Yet I'm beginning to think that I ought to."

Interesting thoughts on the historical and present role of universities.
