 Sanjit Sethi and Elliot Felix, University World News

We call these assumptions the six fallacies of higher education:

• There is a ‘traditional student’.
• Learning happens Monday through Friday, 9 to 5, in autumn and spring. 
• The campus is for classes.
• We measure student success solely academically.
• Costs can increase faster than quality.
• Accreditation ensures excellence.
