Opinion: Consistently Inconsistent: Business and the Spellings Commission Report on Higher Education

Brian Huot

Abstract

The author critiques the much-publicized and potentially influential 2006 report of the Spellings Commission Report. He emphasizes the report’s inconsistencies, seeing these as reflecting a business model of education that neglects not only the decline in government financial support of colleges, but also the presence in them of new student populations
