I am going to have a debate on the topic of if should we open new universities. I am having difficulty finding reasons for this. What can be some...

Based on your question, I am assuming you want reasons for both sides of the question. There are reasons why new universities should be established. Some of the students that attend college today are very different than the students who traditionally attended college in the past. More students are attending college while working full time.

Based on your question, I am assuming you want reasons for both sides of the question. There are reasons why new universities should be established. Some of the students that attend college today are very different than the students who traditionally attended college in the past. More students are attending college while working full time. They are looking at a degree that isn’t necessarily one that requires a full liberal arts education. More colleges are forming designed to attract these students who are looking at a degree in a given, specialized area. The population who may attend these universities is often a limited, targeted population. These universities can meet the needs of these students often in a better, more efficient fashion than a traditional four-year public or private university. Students with other full-time responsibilities such as work or family should have the opportunity to get a college degree.

There are reasons why there shouldn’t be more universities created. Many newer, smaller universities have formed targeting students who want a degree in a limited field. Some people have raised concerns about the rigor of these universities, and the rigor of the courses they offer. They also are concerned about the qualifications of the instructors teaching the courses. Some people question if the admission policies of these universities are stringent enough. Some people feel a degree from some of these universities isn’t as valid as a degree from a traditional four-year public or private university.

Now that you have some background information on the topic, good luck in developing points to use in your debate.
