Link to My Discussion of Higher Ed on “Up Front Fridays” in Traverse City, Michigan

It is shown on UpNorthTV .  I’m the first guest on 9/14/2015.  It is only an eight minute segment.

It can also be viewed online on www.upnorthmedia.org

An Important Note:

Something I said in the interview was not exactly correct. I said that professors at top schools don’t want to teach.  What I should have said – which I did allude to – is that they rarely become professors because they want to teach.  Many do like to teach, and, more importantly, most can teach well.

(If you are looking for the math problem I mentioned, you will find it here.

(By the way, Horizon Books in Traverse City is one of the best bookstores I have seen anywhere.  I love it.  It’s three floors. It has great books. It has a coffee shop.  It is open from 7AM to 11PM daily! It’s in the very center of town.  I’m on my way there now.)
