ACTA's Must-Reads
« Replace the trustees -- not the governance system | Main | Whose mess is it? »
Welcome to the new UDC!
Today's Washington Post reports that the University of the District of Columbia will look very different this fall, following president Allen Sessoms' plans to restructure and revive the struggling urban public university. Among other reforms, UDC will be split into two separate entities, an open-enrollment community college and a four-year "flagship" campus with tighter admissions standards.
President Sessoms and the UDC Board of Trustees deserve credit for making tough decisions in favor of academic excellence and accountability. ACTA supported the plans when they were announced earlier this year and looks forward to seeing the fruits of this promising reform.
