This Week In College Viability (TWICV) for June 23 2025

Much thanks to the many, many listeners to the podcast.  This past week we hit 10,000 downloads.  

If you would, make sure to share the podcast link with your colleagues.  We don’t want them to miss out on the perspectives we offer here at College Viability.

This week we have layoffs, cutbacks, and lots of tuition increases.  

It is also silly season for college enrollment announcements, and I have one of those.  

More indicators that the public colleges are ahead of privates in recognizing the need for mergers.

And more evidence that colleges focus more on enrollment than graduation rates.

This and much more on the June 23rd 2025 TWICV podcast.
