Harvard's President and Universitiy of Phoenix president speak out on education in today's society.
Their Web sites could hardly be more different. One urges students to join a community of online learners “to keep pace with the changing world.” The other points to Chaucer, Einstein, Freud, and Plato atop its home page.
The representatives of two distinct approaches to higher education met at Harvard last week to present their philosophies on learning.
The president of the University of Phoenix, with a for-profit model and a digitally connected student body, and the president of St. John’s College, a small, liberal arts school that emphasizes classroom dialogue around the classics, outlined the merits of their respective models during a discussion at the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) on Thursday (March 11).
