Knox, John A. – Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council, 2017
Honors programs, as home to the highest test scores and highest GPAs on many campuses (for reasons that are not particularly justifiable), can become assembly lines for prestige-scholarship applications and their dangling appendages, the applicants themselves. As honors programs become cogs in universities' PR machines, they decouple from their…

Civic reasons for the planning of the University need to be viewed within a broader motivational context.

Rodgers Gibson, Morgan – Policy Futures in Education, 2019
