Podcast at Future U -- Solving the problem of college costs

The Case of College Costs — as found at “ChatGPT Growing Strong, Sparking Teacher’s AI Fears” — from by Michael Horn, Jeff Selingo, Bill Troutt, & Susan Dynarski

Per Michael (emphasis DSC):
Several things struck me in the episode. Among them were:

  • How prescient the National Commission on the Cost of Higher Education was all the way back in 1998 when it said that “continued inattention to issues of cost and price threatens to create a gulf of ill will between institutions of higher education and the public they serve.”
  • And Bill’s observation that the forgiveness of student loans probably wouldn’t spur much in the way of strategic conversations for boards of trustees at colleges.
