The democratic candidates have begun taking stances on issues in higher education, as reported in a new (free!) roundup article in The Chronicle. I don't have a personal favorite, but I did like reading about the incentives for getting more students to teach (similar to the imaginary "No Teacher Left Behind Act" discussed here awhile back). The fact that education is an issue at all is the important point. Last time around, the Democratic Platform promised a "revolution in education." We'll see what happens this time.

In the interests of equal time, here's a page that lists the Republican (Bush's) positions on education from Campaign 2000 . Here, too, is a link to the No Child Left Behind page at the Dept of Ed. You can see the Green party's platform on education -- and all the Libertarians and others -- at the Issues2000.org site from years ago.
