Higher Ed Needs To Be Relevant Again

Public confidence in Higher Ed is plummeting according to a Gallup poll. Big reasons are: It is too expensive and fails to teach relevant skills (for careers outside of academia).
We must listen to them and address their concerns or risk becoming irrelevant.

Hi I am an Astronomer & Professor... and a Bad Boy Scientist (because I keep pissing off the admin).
I love teaching Astro 101 - it's often the last science class taken by non-STEM students. Like Obi Wan Kenobi, it is their last, best chance of learning evidence-based reasoning.
