What are the three biggest problems facing universities today? What problems of knowledge do these represent?

*Disclaimer: I don't think I interpreted the question correctly.  You might be better off finding someone else's blog* 

In no particular order:

Tuition: The cost of college, as "The Ivory Tower" pointed out, is skyrocketing, and may possibly be unsustainable.  

          Problem of Knowledge?: Sense Perception:  Sticker shock is a thing experienced by parents sending kids off to college. The price tag causes a kind of disconnect.  Common knowledge is that college is necessary for a "successful" life. However, it's so expensive that parents and kids have to wonder if the debt they may have to take on for college is really worth it. 

 The price of knowledge:  Does knowledge have a price?  Should it?  Clearly, colleges have put a "price" on knowledge, in the form of teachers and textbooks.  But there are also other costs, which leads into....

Expansion: To compete with each other, colleges have been expanding spaces and including as many amenities as they can (rockclimbing walls, pretty buildings, etc.) Colleges have to have the best of everything, from food to research.  The administrative staffs of colleges have expanded sigificantly as well.  All this needs to be paid for somehow, and it may becoming too much.

         Problems of Knowledge?:  Emotion: A lot of the extra stuff is so students can enjoy themselves, but is it helping or hindering their pursuit of knowledge? Especially at schools known for partying, is the label causing them to cater to those who have no desire to learn? 

Language: Colleges use their expansions as advertisement, a kind of visual language.  New shiny buildings and pretty settings imply an aura of prestige, of being at the cutting edge.  But one shouldn't judge a book by its cover. It's possible (maybe even probable) that 

Value (for student): Related to Expansion and Tuition, there are an increasing number of questions about the usefulness of college, especially when compared to the cost, and what it pays for.  

           Problems of Knowledge?: Memory: How does memory change our knowledge?  The value of college may have changed, but there could be a generation (or more) with memories of a different time, when college meant something else.  Could memory result in knowledge being suppressed or distorted?

Reason: This kind of relates to memory and emotion.  How is reason affected by both/either of them? Reason, memory, and emotion are all ways of knowing, and how they interact affect one's knowledge.
