This Week In College Viability (TWICV) for December 26, 2023
Many thanks to the increasing number of folks listening to and downloading the podcast. I am grateful.
Here are the stories and commentary for the final 2023 'This Week in College Viability (TWICV)' podcast.
1. Public flagships are both booming and flailing
2. Buch of stuff on more small college struggles
3. MSU BOT pledges to not interfere with new president. . . Yes, and Santa comes down all of our chimneys in one night.
4. A story on college facilities: What are the risks of a catastrophe?
5. Pets on campus at Ferris state
6. Young Workers Still Benefit from a College Degree
Why do I do this podcast? There is no joy in chronicling a crashing industry. Yet, there remain millions of students in colleges and there always will be. It is those colleges whose last dollar is circling the financial drain that are hurting this nation and too many of its students.
Higher education will continue with a smaller number of colleges and a smaller number of degrees and majors.
My role is to lovingly point out the business and economic dilemma that higher education faces. Do I do it with sarcasm and ridicule. Guilty. I believe that my counter-perspective is having an impact on the market. Students and parents are becoming more aware of the risks of choosing financially-challenged colleges.
I am right that there will be massive consolidation. I just don’t know what that time frame will be.
