Post Letter: State's funding plan will devalue degrees
Dec. 4, 2012I was disappointed reading The Post’s recent editorial, “Quality, not quantity,” that supports the move by Governor Kasich and university presidents to change the way funding is allocated to state universities. The ironically titled editorial supports a proposal that would restructure the State Share of Instruction formula, in a way that would favor universities with higher graduation rates rather than enrollment. If this formula is adopted, we will certainly see an increase in the quantity of degrees being pumped out, but students will suffer from an overall decrease in the quality of their education.
