Problems of Universities
In many states this year, budget requests by state universities have had to be scaled back or frozen, while tuition, the share of the cost borne by the students themselves, has gone up--in some cases faster than the rate of inflation. The problem for the governors is particularly distressing because they all agree that the quality of their colleges and universities helps drive the economic engines of their states. And they are constantly being told by everyone from college administrators to editorial writers that the only way to make their state universities better is to spend more money.
So it was against this backdrop that members of the National Governors Association came together in this New England city this past week to discuss issues of common concern, one being higher education. And the focus of their talks about colleges centered not on how money could be more effectively directed, but how to get greater productivity out of a system that many feel has become high inefficient and resistive to change.
As a result, the governors will embark on a three-year study of higher education system and how to make state colleges and universities better able to meet the challenges of a global economy in the 21st century. And judging from the tenor and tone of their discussion, the study could produce a push for higher standards, more efficiency and greater accountability. "When it comes to higher education, we talk a lot about money, but we don&39;t often talk of standards and accountability. With tuition rising faster than the rate of inflation and students taking longer and longer to finish college, one of these days the public is going to say, &39;Enough!&39;" Pennsylvania Republican Gov. Tom Ridge said.
Ridge and his fellow governors came away from the meetings resolute in the belief that higher education needs a fresh look and possibly a major boost in productivity to meet demands of new technologies and a changing work force. Several governors noted that establishment of clearer standards, greater efficiencies in providing services, and more student competency testing might be needed, in addition to curriculum inspection.
Such proposals would be sure to shake up those who protect the status quo and trigger a major public debate. Education establishments that often believe that they know best tend to get nervous when elected officials seek to become involved. Utah GOP Gov. Mike Leavitt said the NGA discussion represented a "major shift" in the way governors address higher education and signaled their desire for greater direct involvement by the state chief executives in the oversight of their state university systems. While the governors were quick to note that American higher education is still the best in the world, they say adjustments that reflect the changing of the global economy might be needed to keep it that way.
The reduction of higher education budget in many states upsets the governors because they believe that__________. 查看材料
A.students should not pay their own tuition to get education
B.more money is needed to make their universities better
C.college administrators and editorial writers know better than them about education

The Cost of Higher Education????Individuals(个人) ...
| The Cost of Higher Education Individuals(个人) should pay for their higher education. A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual. Graduates eam more than non-graduates.Meanwhile,social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree. However,only some people have it. So the imli- vidual,not the taxpayers,should pay for it. There are pressing calls on the resources(资源) of the government. Using taxpayers' money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them. Full govemment funding(资助) is not very good for universities. Adam Smith worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees. He knew and looked down upon 18th-century Oxford, where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the govemment. Guaranteed salaries,Smith argued,were the enemy of hard work;and when the academics were lazy and incompetent,the students were similarly lazy. If students have to pay for their education,they not only work harder,but also demand more from their teachers. And their teachers have to keep them satisfied. If that means taking teachjng seriously,and giving less time to their own research interests,that is surely something to celebrate. Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy (经济) . Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth,but so do all the businesses that invest (投资) and create jobs. If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates are economically productive,you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs. Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the govemment to invest. Therefore,it is the individual,not the govemment,who should pay for their university education. |
| 1. The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refers to _____. |
| A. taxpayers B. pressing calls C. college graduates D. govemment resources |
| 2. The author thinks that with full govemment funding _____. |
| A. teachers are less satisfied B. students are more demanding C. students will become more competent D. teachers will spend less time on teaching |
| 3. The author mentions businesses in Paragraph 5 in order to____. |
| A. argue against free university education B. call on them to finance students' studies C. encourage graduates to go into business D. show their contribution to higher education |
