--Jennifer Summit, professor of English at Stanford
Primary claims:
Stanford is making changes in their curriculum to encourage humanities doctoral students to graduate in five years (rather than 7-9 years) by focusing classes on student interests and research, holding students accountable by evaluating their progress, and supporting and celebrating all student achievement. Is this a joke? What has Stanford been doing as an educational institution up until this point?
