If you were not already aware, PBS will broadcast the new documentary Declining by Degrees: Higher Education at Risk (A survey of problems facing U.S. higher education), on Sunday, June 26, 2:00pm. Intended by its producers to begin a national conversation that helps the academy regain its once special status, the two hour program is said to include interviews with several dozen national education leaders discussing a range of quality issues. The program's potential impact on opinion-leading stakeholders would seem to make it a critical viewing experience for those of who help faculty improve their teaching effectiveness.
