"Success in the future won’t be defined by a degree, but by potential and the ability to learn, apply, and adapt" https://hbr.org/2019/11/6-reasons-why-higher-education-needs-to-be-disrupted
Says who ? The Chief Talent Scientist at ManpowerGroup, professor of business psychology at University College London and at Columbia University, associate at Harvard’s Entrepreneurial Finance Lab and also the President of the ManpowerGroup North ?
Its not very convincing to hear the foxes explaining what is the best strategy to guard the henhouse. In my view and in what concerns the status quo with need less adaptation and more confrontation. See for instance the 2018 piece below:
"to form students as specialized workers instead of passionate critical citizens that are needed to save Democracy from its enemies namely the Facebook massive brainwashing experiment. And the best proof that universities in Western countries failed their mission by becoming just tools in the capitalist production, apparatus is the simple fact that no country ruled by dictatorship fears to send their students to those universities because they know that they will not risk being infected by any kind of freedom of thought virus !"
Also the "adaptation" narrative does not go hand in hand with the one in here https://pacheco-torgal.blogspot.com/2019/09/the-responsibility-of-intellectuals-to.html
And last but not least let´s not forget this: “scientists should join civil disobedience movements to fight these unprecedented crises.”
