Are you and the NYT kidding me? NO, the op-ed is not thought provoking in the least. The author provides only his own very one-sided view of his higher education experience. And what he provides is hardly more than a talk with some guy at a bar over a couple of beers. It’s all very nice that the author made something of himself but that he didn’t earlier in life is no indictment of the system. The one place the author placed no responsibility was on himself.
Curious that lack of personal responsibility, for someone who is president of a conservative institution.

No, typical.
