Holding Our Colleges Accountable

I was reading on Time.com and i came across this interesting article. Kevin Carey, a member of the think tank Education Sector, comes out blasting our current college system and whether it really is up to stuff. The most interesting thing he said in his interview was

"Sure, every college is different in some way from its peers, but I would defy anyone to explain to me the difference between Indiana University Southeast and Indiana University Northwest. They're like the same thing, basically. They all teach the same classes by and large — business, engineering, education. These are the classes that college students actually take. Very few people are studying 5th century Chinese calligraphy. So colleges are not as different from one another as they would like people to believe."

As a senior looking into whether college is a good choice or not, its disquieting to her this news that the years of debt i might incur threw tuition for the same classes just really doesn't appeal to me. I think its time that either a watchdog group or even the government starts to call out these universities.
