THIS WEEK IN UBIQUITY: DEGREES THAT EXPIRE

M.O. Thirunarayanan suggests that by granting degrees that will expire (and thus need be renewed), institutions of higher learning can not only assure their own health but also the continued value of the people who have attended attend. Thirunarayanan is an associate professor of learning technologies in the College of Education and also a Fellow of the Honors College at Florida International University, in Miami, Florida. He earned his doctoral degree in 1990 from Arizona State University, in Tempe, Arizona.
