The Chronicle has up an informative piece asking a bunch of higher education experts about the goal of increasing college attendance rates.
The consensus, of course, is that more people should go to college, but:
Behind the rhetoric lies disagreement over a series of issues: which students are most likely to succeed in college; what kind of college they should attend; whether the individual or society benefits more from postsecondary education; and whether college is worth the high cost and likely long-term debt.
Oh, and I’m sure progressive higher ed types will be thrilled to see Charles Murray answering the questions.
