What We Never Say Out Loud In Higher Education (www.forbes.com)

The author of this article asserts some of the recent complaints I've either personally heard from others or some of my own opinions regarding the costs of higher education.

Scott Galloway has recently become well known for additional criticism of higher education creating artificial constraints on admissions or acceptance of potential students.

Do you believe any of these points have merit?

Do you believe the current costs of higher education either in the US or other first world countries provides appropriate return on investment?

Do you believe the assertion that senior lecturers don't have the same teaching skill requirements as primary education in addition to their subspecialty or focus?

How could higher education be improved or is the current model working well enough?

That indeed is infuriating. The least you can expect is to be taught by the actual professors...since that's their entire gig, aside from the research for notoriety side Hussle.
