Higher Ed Doesn’t Have 20 Years to Prepare

In a Pope Center piece, Jane Shaw analyzes a talk given by George Washington University’s president emeritus, Stephen Joel Trachtenberg, at a higher-ed event last year. (It was the keynote address at a forum put on by Cato and the Center for College Affordability and Productivity.) Trachtenberg said that higher ed will have about 20 years before all hell breaks loose. Jane thinks that’s off by just about 20 years. All hell is starting to break loose now.
