It may become increasingly difficult for higher education to maintain its distance from this topic, particularly as some states look to tie performance on state tests to university admissions in some fashion. It may be just as dangerous to avoid involvement, particularly if higher education is eventually cast as the major obstacle to implementation of state standards and assessments. A more fundamental question is whether higher education has any responsibility to provide any guidance to the K-12 system as that system rethinks its expectations for students.
