	Advice for Erskine Bowles: Ratchet Up and Ratchet Down
		Bowles will take the UNC helm with this notable advantage -- he isn't an education "insider." People who have been immersed in higher education administration for most if not all of their careers tend to uncritically accept most of the "conventional wisdom" about how our colleges and universities supposedly need to function.
		We at the Pope Center hope that Bowles will not be the kind of higher education leader whose approach can be summed up in the sentence, "Things are great, but we just need a lot more money." Things are not great and more money isn't the solution.
		To focus on two significant shortcomings of the UNC system, Bowles would do well if he managed to ratchet up the degree of academic rigor for UNC students while at the same time ratcheting down the politicization that students often find in their classes.
