Many private institutions of higher education around the country are in danger. Not all will be saved, and perhaps not all deserve to be saved. There are low-quality schools just as there are low-quality businesses. We have no obligation to save them simply because they exist.
But many thriving institutions that deserve to continue are threatened. They are doing a fine job educationally, but they are caught in a financial squeeze, with no way to reduce rising cost or increase revenues significantly. Raising tuition doesn’t bring in more revenue, for each time tuition goes up, the enrollment goes down, or the amount that must be given away in student aid goes up. Schools are bad businesses, whether public or private, not usually because of mismanagement but because of the nature of the enterprise. They lose money on every customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students. Even a very good college is a very bad business.
It is such colleges, thriving but threatened, I worry about low enrollment is not their chief problem. Even with full enrollments, they may go under. Effects to save them and preferably to keep them private, are national necessities. There is no basis for arguing that private schools are inherently better than public schools. Examples to the contrary abound.
Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world. It is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity is a national necessity. Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms of education. In an imperfect society such as ours, uniformity of education throughout the nation could be dangerous. In an imperfect society, diversity is a positive good. Ardent supporters of public higher education know the importance of sustaining private higher education. [br] The author used the phrase "go under" in the third paragraph to mean______.
选项
A、get into difficulties
B、have low enrollment
C、have low tuition
D、bring in more money
答案
A
解析
从文章第三段前两句“It is such colleges,thriving but threatened,I worry about low enrollment is not their chief problem.Even with full enrollments,they may go under.”可知,我所担心的正是这种蓬勃向上却面临威胁的大学。低入学率并不是他们的首要问题。即使入学人数足额,他们也会走向衰落。可以判断出整个第三段都在讲述学校是如何入不敷出、经营不善的。据此判断,本题选A。
