Population of needy college students is exploding<\/strong><\/a> — from The Washington Post by Daniel de Vise<\/p>\n

Excerpt (emphasis DSC):<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

A higher education official from Wisconsin who attended the recent Council of Independent Colleges conference in Florida made a remarkable statement during a question-and-answer session.<\/p>\n

There is a group of students who enter college with such dire financial need that the amount the federal government expects their families to contribute to college is effectively zero.<\/strong> In Wisconsin, that zero-pay population has grown by half in a single year: from 42,641 students in the 2008-09 academic year to 65,800 in 2009-10.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The data come from Rolf Wegenke, president of the Wisconsin Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, and surely they mirror a national trend.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Incoming college students have grown markedly more needy since the 2008 economic downturn.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From DSC:<\/span><\/strong>
\nThis perfect storm that continues to amass <\/em>must be addressed<\/em><\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

How can all institutions of higher education — across the board — cut tuition costs by 50% or more?<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

That should be the #1 question boards are asking themselves throughout 2012 until they have some ideas\/answers<\/strong> — then begin experimenting with implementing those pilots\/ideas\/potential directions.\u00a0 If not, the conversation will continue to move outside of academia and fewer people will even care what those of us inside higher ed think.\u00a0 The development of a Walmart of Education has become a sure thing in my mind — it will happen. In fact, it’s already started.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
