Marcy, what do you think about the possibility that it's not the
credentialing function, or the lack of imagination in credentialing, but
the dearth of alternatives to college which strain the credentialing
function? I guess I'm alone in this, but for me the central fact of
university life in America is that students largely feel they have to be
there, and are getting credentialed for who knows what. The credentialing
function would not be so strained if it weren't so absurd, imo!
