In today's Clarion Call, my colleague Jay Schalin writes about Erskine Bowles, who has served as president of the UNC system for five years but is stepping down to work on a problem far more daunting than improving efficiency in higher education -- the national debt problem. Jay's take is that Bowles did a pretty good job and I'm inclined to agree. He was willing to listen to ideas about higher education that did not emanate from within the system. I hope he'll be equally willing to listen to "non-mainstream" ideas on curing the federal addiction to spending.
