The National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment has published a list of material they see as constituting a response to Molly Worthen and, to a lesser extent, me. To me (confirmation bias alert), it sounds very defensive and I am not sure how carefully they have read the articles that they posted.  Some of them, while not agreeing entirely with Worthen, seem to accept much of her argument.  Eubanks and McConnell are examples of this and I am not sure why Margaret Spellings’ recent response to Bryan Caplan is included at all.
