I got quite the college experience.

One of the things that we're all struggling with is how to judge the quality of the value-added experience of an educational course or year. I don't think it's impossible to do that, but it's difficult.

It's hard to say that it gets any better to be at your alma mater and run a major college football program.

Every young man or woman should weigh the matter well before concluding that a college education is out of the question.

My record at the University of California as an undergraduate was mediocre to say the best.

Good students are good at all things.

There's a reasonable amount of traction in college education, particularly engineering, because quite a lot of that is privatized, so there is an incentive to set up new colleges of reasonably high quality.

When you're in college, everything seems much more important than it really is.

Universities used to prepare young adults for the real world. I dare say the graduates today go in without a clue and graduate without a clue. It's time to acknowledge the college degree is not worth what it was in the past. Times are changing, and so is the way we prepare our youth to survive in a competitive world.

The goal of higher education should be to champion the airing of all honest viewpoints. Nothing less is acceptable.
