The current status of career education can be described at local, state, and national levels. Although 5,000 of the 17,000 school districts in the U.S. have initiated some kind of career education effort, fewer than 500 have received federal funds. The quantity of effort expended at the local school district level has exceeded the quality by a very wide margin. State involvement has been strong--both in preparing materials for career education and in funding--and is continuing to grow in...

Feasibility and cost of such a program can be extrapolated from existing computer education projects. The direct participation...

The author speculates on the results of a change in perceptions of "community," currently seen as the territory of the taxpayer, with his right to set rules through his representative, the board of trustees. The board members, usually conservative businessmen, do not truly represent the community, but they hire the administrators and, through them, all the staff. The staff, however, only seems beholden to the board and soon forms its own constituency. When staff and board disagree, or...

Universities are beset with many demands to join in social action. Some of these demands run counter to the traditional purposes of the university: the production and transmission of knowledge. Universities' responses range from isolation or withdrawal as recently espoused by Barzun in The American University to a call for direct social action which carried to its extreme could make the university a service station, a pseudo-governmental agency. Neither of these positions is acceptable, and...
