I am saying universities and colleges should be different. Universities for a liberal education, colleges for more focused studies. Universities for the mind, colleges for career development and credentials. One would not be considered better than the other, as they would serve very different functions.

No, I am not going to dedicate any part of my life to trying to change what is. I do not care that much. I simply said earlier that I think to be called a university the institution should require calculus. That´s not to say that in the history of the USA that has ever been the case, or that Harvard College ever had such requirements (hell, Harvard College may have been around longer than modern calculus for all I know), or that a person who does not know calculus is not intelligent or not well-educated. I also was not wanting to derail the discussion, the calculus thing was just an aside. Not saying a degree has no value if the student does not study calculus.
