Two secular issues close to my heart are the plight of college students overburdened by costs and adjuncts who suffer perpetual underemployment. This article does a good job highlighting the latter's plight but the "solution" offered at the end is wrongheaded. But something new needs to happen in higher education. We need to find new ways to link up the profs with the people who need the knowledge they worked so hard to amass. A new kind of university? Populist education? It seems to me the solutions to both of these problems are intertwined.
