"end the university as we know it"

Submitted by Anne Dalke on Mon, 04/27/2009 - 7:47am.
Mark C. Taylor's thoughts in y'day's NYTimes op-ed column seem resonantly evolutionary: his six-stage proposal to make higher learning more agile, adaptive and imaginative (i.e., to "end the university as we know it") begins with restructuring the curriculum ("the division-of-labor model of separate departments is obsolete and must be replaced with a curriculum structured like a web or complex adaptive network") and ends with these instructions from professors to students: "Do not do what I do; rather, take whatever I have to offer and do with it what I could never imagine doing and then come back and tell me about it."
Go on, do that...
