Synopsis
This text is an open letter by faculty and alumni to the administration of the University of Virginia. The authors of the letter protest the decision to restructure the academic degrees awarded by the university, which included introducing an elective system of study. The authors argue that the restructuring will lower academic standards, render the university undergraduate degree less prestigious, and prioritize the interests of the few over the many. It includes statistical data about low graduation rates of the existing program and arguments from notable figures in the field of higher education. The letter emphasizes that the singular focus on cultivating specialists and technical scholars through the Masters degree had led to a decline in offering a sound and liberal education to the wider student body. The book should be of interest to scholars, educators, and anyone interested in the historical development of educational institutions.
