Show Notes:

President Scott L Wyatt and Steve Meredith sit down with Rachel Fishman, Deputy Director for Research at the Higher Education Initiative with New America, to discuss the perceptions of higher education, including affordability, quality, and return on investment.

Featured Quotes:

. . . overwhelmingly people think [higher education is] not fine the way it is. We do ask a follow-up question to this that’s open ended that’s like, “Well, why do you feel that way?” And the overwhelming response is cost and affordability, which I think makes a lot of sense, especially given everything that we’ve basically seen in the news for the past four or five years where there’s a constant talk about student loan debt, how it’s 1.5-1.6 trillion dollars, what that means for a generation of students who now have debt and what that means for millennials and Generation Z mobility.
Rachel Fishman, Higher Education Initiative with New America

. . . never before have students been this invested in their education by having to borrow loans or having to front their own earnings or their parents’ earnings to help pay for it. And so, more people are in higher education than ever before and more are looking to see a serious return on investment because they’re making a serious investment of their own money.
