Higher education is about educating students. The term “teaching school” is practically a
pejorative at many institutions.
The goal of many colleges and universities is: To be known as a research school which
often means that only professors who can publish in quality academic journals will be
awarded tenure and promotions. Faculty are advised to work more on publications and pay
less attention to their teaching.
Déformation professionelle: The tendency to see things narrowly, i.e., from the point of
view of one’s discipline or profession
Silo mentality: Occurs when groups or departments in an organization refuse to share
knowledge. The best way to learn is via collaboration, so it is crucial for students today to
learn how to work in teams and share knowledge.
Higher education should be at the forefront of teaching people to listen and consider
other viewpoints. The opposite of critical thinking, it can produce angry people who can
never fit into society or the workplace.
