Redesigning America’s Community Colleges: How Guided Pathways Has Promoted Workforce Training and Devalued the Humanities

Keith Kroll

Abstract

In minimizing and narrowing students’ opportunities for exploration, discovery, deliberation, and thoughtfulness—the educational gold standard of our nation’s most elite educational institutions—by offering them a rationed education that is designed to facilitate quick completion of a degree or certificate, “redesigning” and Guided Pathways reforms and recommendations have promoted “workforce training” and devalued the humanities.
