Yes I think there's truth to that. More catering to lowest common denominator.
That story last year about the NYU professor who was fired for making his class too hard was a real eye opener.
And worst of all in my experience was total uniformity in thinking. College was always described to me as an exploratory place that encouraged the free exchange of ideas, but by the time I got there, it seemed there was basically one acceptable way to think about everything.
Maybe I shouldn't extrapolate too much from my own anecdotal experience. But it stacks up with what I've been hearing the last few years.
