Rigor at Bard
Our friends at the National Association of Scholars have published a new report on freshmen reading programs. According to their analysis, virtually none of these programs assign classic texts -- and many assign books that, whether new or old, require precious little from students intellectually. One exception, though, is Bard College, whose president, Leon Botstein, has an excellent essay over at Minding the Campus today. Do take a look.
