How to make college cheaper
Derek Bok, a former president of Harvard, once observed that " universities share one characteristic with compulsive gamblers and exiled royalty; there is never enough money to satisfy their desires. " America’s universities have raised their fees five times as fast as inflation over the past 30 years. Student debt in America exceeds credit-card debt. Yet still the universities keep sending begging letters to alumni and philanthropists. This insatiable appetite for money was bad enough during the boom years. It is truly irritating now that middle-class incomes are stagnant and students are struggling to find good jobs.
【C1】______
Are universities inevitably expensive? Vance Fried, of Oklahoma State University, recently conducted a fascinating thought experiment, backed up by detailed calculations. Is it possible to provide a first-class undergraduate education for $6,700 a year rather than the $25 ,900 charged by public research u-niversities or the $51,500 charged by their private peers? He concluded that it is.
【C2】______
First, separate the funding of teaching and research. Research is a public good, he reasoned, but there is no reason why undergraduates should pay for it. Second, increase the student-teacher ratio. Business and law schools achieve good results with big classes. Why not other colleges? Mr. Fried thinks that universities will be able to mix some small classes with big ones even if they have fewer teachers. Third, eliminate or consolidate programmes that attract few students. Fourth, puncture administrative bloat.
【C3】______
Americans could complete their undergraduate degrees in three years instead of four. In practice, most American students take even longer than four years, not least because so many work to pay their tuition. Surprisingly, America’s future corporate titans take a leisurely two years to complete their MBAs; most Europeans need only one.
【C4】______
Shai Reshef, an educational entrepreneur-turned-philanthropist, sets up his University of the People which offers free higher education, pitching itself to poor people in America and the rest of the world. The university does this by exploiting three resources: the goodwill of academic volunteers who want to help the poor, the availability of free "courseware" on the internet and the power of social networking. Some 2,000 academic volunteers have designed the courses and given the university some credibility. Tutors direct the students, who so far number 1,000 or so and hail from around the world, to the online courses. They also help to organise them into study groups, and then supervise from afar, dropping in on discussions and marking tests.
【C5】______
Sometimes when academics grouse that there is "never enough money" , they are justified—big science costs big bucks. But higher education is nevertheless marred by inefficiencies and skewed incentives. Students pay to be taught, but their professors are rewarded almost entirely for research. Mr. Fried’s calculations suggest that one can slash costs without sacrificing much that student’s value. Mr. Reshefs experiment may fail, but there is no doubt that universities need more experimenters. The cost of tuition cannot forever rise faster than students’ ability to pay. Industries that cease to offer value for money sooner or later get shaken up. American universities are ripe for shaking.

解析
第一段明确提出了高校经费不足的现状。第二段首句是过渡句,起着承上启下的作用。本段重点在后半部分,主要是关注实验内容和结果,实验结果是:大学学费可以降低。显然这是一种新的思维方式。故选选项[F]。
