A recent article stated that only 5.5% of American colleges grant the majority of their degrees in the liberal arts.
Citing this, a reader wrote to lament that this was further evidence of the decline of academic rigor in American
post high school education. Which of the following is an assumption on the part of the reader?
"¢ The percentage of American colleges granting liberal arts degrees would continue to drop.
"¢ All colleges should grant the majority of their degrees in the liberal arts.
"¢ Most post-secondary scientific, engineering, and vocational training does not involve as much academic rigor as
liberal arts training.
"¢ Academic rigor is the most important aspect of post high school education.
"¢ Of the colleges that do not grant the majority of their degrees in the liberal arts, many granted fewer than a
quarter of their degrees in the liberal arts.
