System P

The American higher education system consists of over 4,700 institutions educating over twenty-one million students. The most striking feature of this system is its diversity. There is no “typical college.” Much of the story about the future of America’s four-year higher education institutions is found in their differences, not their similarities. Schools are public and private, large and small, elite and open enrollment, tuition dependent and well endowed, liberal arts oriented and vocational. The challenges facing America’s colleges and universities will affect the diverse parts of this system in very different ways. Generalizing about this system can be very dangerous.

Key Events

This article examines the key events leading to the creation of the California higher education system and Clark Kerr’s influential concept the “multiversity.” The wide, uncritical reception of this term requires explanation, which the essay explores both in terms of Kerr’s 1963 book, The Uses of the University, and in terms of its impact even on historical scholarship about American higher education. The essay concludes by finding the multiversity a highly selective (not an inclusive) standard and a latter-day extension of a pragmatic ideology with a long history and many unacknowledged problems.

The writer believes that higher education is facing a big leap with the increasing size of the intranet in education, and the only way - in the writer's opinion - to stay in the field of higher education is to keep up with this change by dismantling the traditional system of higher education. The book also discusses the apparent imbalance in the American higher education system - in the opinion of writer Ryan Craig - and what education should be compared to what it is now, comparing the book between the major universities that have endowments and those who do not have a standstill and compete in the field of higher education and seeks to be Similar to Harvard and elite universities. He believes that the American education system should establish a two-tier system: Harvard and its counterparts benefit from elite students, and a cheaper system harnesses the Internet and technology to benefit the rest of the students. So that they can get paid for what they pay instead of paying huge tuition fees going to support a university that does not benefit them and buildings that do not enhance their learning. In the opinion of the writer that the motivation to address this type of education is the widespread increase in the spread of the Internet and the huge costs required by education in its traditional form, which necessitates finding a solution to these problems and changes in the market of higher education.

After first surveying the development of academic studies of Islam within the modern Turkish higher education system, this essay provides an inventory of material that has been translated from Western languages into Turkish. It is inevitable that orientalist studies will have a place of tremendous importance in this analysis. However, approaches to the Qur'an and its exegesis which have been developed under the influence of the Western scientific and cultural world encompass a larger range of literature that includes not only the orientalist studies themselves but also the criticisms directed against these studies. Particular attention is paid to the work of Fazlur Rahman and Arab scholars influenced by Western methods, and an assessment of the various issues related to the critique of orientalist works is provided.
