No. Government should not rank colleges. Look how badly No Child Left Behind turned out. But the government should encourage more transparency. Students should know what courses they will take, how many students will be in the class, who is teaching, and where students get jobs.

Having lived in countries where tipping is not expected most of my adult life, my personal view is that the restaurant owners need to pay their staff a living wage (ok, so prices go up) and get the waiters off the backs of the customers. Better for us, and, yes, better for the waiters as well!

When the bar passage rate of ABA-approved law schools approaches 100%, then talk to me about eliminating the exam. If law graduates are as well-prepared as Dean Allard implies, then they should pass the bar exam with ease. The fact that so many don't pass demonstrates the continued need for the exam.
