TEACHSOC: Re: SOTL on ideal class sizes?

[Walter Dean]

From: Roberts, Keith    There is more to “accountability” than just financial accountability.  Without ignoring the financial constraints, we still need to hold up another set of values that counter-balance the financial issues.  If we fail to do this, we allow finances to be the only value governing the academy.   You must be living in a wonderful state that has the financial capability to offer classes without  worrying about per pupil funding or some set formula.  Finances are never the only value governing  the management of colleges and universities.  But it would be very nice if certain courses can be held to small numbers.   That would be very pleasant indeed.   Walter Dean
