I disagree that these Ivy League schools are the only schools capable of initiating and making changes in higher education. As in many aspects of higher education, changes start from the bottom up. More grassroots programs and projects have implemented change than Presidents or Chancellors. The moral role of higher education and its leaders in providing their students with a character-building education may be influenced by their misconceptions of merit. If institutions of higher learning do not begin to realize the importance of character over merit, society as a whole will continue to place the individual above the collective good, and social injustices and inequalities will continue to be prominent.
