Abstract
- The article discusses a higher education reform proposal by U.S. President Barack Obama to rank public colleges and universities based on their cost-effectiveness and affordability, focusing on the potential impacts of the policy on faculty. It is argued that faculty members could be compelled to increase individual counseling and tutoring with students and take on a larger teaching load with smaller class sizes. Also noted is increasing competition from massive open online courses (MOOCs).
