  1. “CHE officials believe one barrier is the overwhelming number of degree choices. Since the early 2000s, Indiana’s public institutions have added more than 1,000 bachelor’s degree programs—a 40% increase, even as enrollment has declined.

    “’We wonder why students are challenged in making these choices,” Lowery continued. “This degree program review process is an excellent complement … to helping students have clear choices and understanding what those are.’”

    So, too much choice is bad? Shall we adopt the Soviet way of consumerism: you get the choice of one shoe and it comes in just one size!
