We're losing our minds : rethinking American higher education
\"America is being held back by the quality and quantity of learning in college. This is a true educational emergency! Many college graduates cannot think critically, write effectively, solve problems, understand complex issues, or meet employers' expectations. We are losing our minds--and endangering our social, economic, and scientific leadership. Critics say higher education costs too much and should be more efficient but the real problem is value, not cost--financial \"solutions\" alone won't work. In this book, Hersh and Keeling argue that the only solution--making learning the highest priority in college--demands fundamental change throughout higher education\"-- Provided by publisher.

An Ethic of Care in Higher Education: Well-Being and Learning
At the heart of commitments to student success is a progressive concept of the relationship between students and institutions of higher education that embraces shared responsibility for the quality and outcomes of learning-and, therefore, for students' ability, capacity, and readiness to learn. Since learning is a complex activity of the whole person, and well-being-broadly defined-is a major determinant of students' readiness to learn, advancing student success requires attention to students as whole people, and to their individual and collective well-being. Attention to students as whole people, a shared responsibility for learning, and responsiveness to students' well being, taken together, reflect the existence and influence of an underlying ethic of care.
