What Ever Happened to Pragmatism?

The author critiques the decline of pragmatism and fact-based experimentation in U.S. education. Seminal achievements in U.S. education, such as the land-grant colleges founded in the 19th century, are presented as examples of the pragmatic method. The author argues that while business education still has its roots in pragmatism due to the needs and wants of business students, it has veered into ideology and intellectual dogma instead of fact-based methods.
