The “To Do” List

To some extent, this year’s election will bring change. Here’s a few things leaders should note on their 2007 “To Do” list. In the realm of higher education, liberal fixation on diversity and the mantra of “higher education for all” must be diagnosed and treated with a dose of reason. Walter Williams, with some assistance from George Leef, has the diversity issue on lock-down.  Jane Shaw, Montana import and newly appointed Executive Vice President for the Pope Center, writes in the Chronicle Review that higher ed isn’t, nor should it be, for everyone.  Mitch Kokai, JLF Communications Director, calls our attention to the need for redistricting reform in the Tryon Daily Bulletin.  Highlighting some health professionals’ decision to refuse insurance from patients has lowered the cost of health care while increasing its quality, says Joe Coletti in the Heartland Institute’s Health Care News. And perhaps the easiest and most obvious: ethics reform. Using the inspired words of former Conn. Governor, John Rowland, Paul Chesser, in WORLD Magazine, shows how a little change from without and a lot of change from within might go a long way towards government ethics reform.
