If colleges are in the education business and part of that business is providing a common core of knowledge for all of its graduates, then Virginia colleges are not doing all that well. However they do excel in one area, excessive administrative spending. The aces in Richmond (public schools) have managed to administer a system where colleges spend more on admin then education.
State colleges, I don't give a rat's about private ones, should have a solid common core, they used to be called distributive requirements, and be as efficient as Medicare or Social Security with respect to administrative costs. Colleges should not spend more than 5% on admin costs. Any more than that is excessive and suggests a college industry complex hard at work screwing the taxpayer abetted by the Gov., Delegates, Senators, and college administrators.
Study faults costs, courses at the state's colleges
