In a two-part editorial in the NY Times, philosopher Gary Gutting asks “What Is College For?”

Gutting argues that colleges are not necessary for job preparation and that high school and vocational school are sufficient and more economical in preparing people for jobs.

Given Sullivan’s discussion on the need for reform of professional education and his emphasis on the importance of training in practical skill as well as evaluation, would you agree that Gutting’s argument can equally apply to preparation for the professions or does Gutting inadvertently reflect a prejudice of the academic model that Sullivan sees as one of the causes of decline in the integrity of professional life?

Your paper should be 4-6 pages in APA format, excluding title page and bibliography, and should include citations from at least 4 sources, including Gutting.

You should begin the paper with an explanation of the problem to be addressed and state a thesis that you will prove.

You should then proceed in the paper to consider arguments for and against the position and endeavor to show the insufficiency of those counter arguments or objections to the position you have taken; i.e., you are to implement critical thinking!

While research is expected, no paper may have more than 20% quotations of others’ material; i.e., you should do your best to ensure that the work and wording are largely your own.
