As pointed out by others, Glenn Loury and others are having richer more interesting discussions on this topic then LS and are taking those conversations farther afield than the somewhat limited navel gazing perspective of the higher education institutions and those that lead them. I commend the following thoughtful piece recently linked to by GL. His last para particularly resonated.
As noted by Yan Shen in an earlier comment, some like Roland Fryer are pushing challenging proposals to impact issues with our education system much earlier in the pipeline then the after the fact solutions so often easy buttoned by our current policy makers. Yes, after the fact ideas like increasing class size should be implemented - and "double yes", abandoning testing is absolutely a road to mediocrity or worse. However, the questions and the issues are much bigger than the reputation and survival of the elite institutions that LS perhaps naturally seems to be most interested in helping
