Every time I read something Akil posts on LinkedIn I think DAMN! I wish I had said that! Always brilliant, always relatable, and 10000% spot on with the college admissions landscape.

What should be done not to be left out of the token distribution?

In terms of what to do with a dying university you mention that the university needs to dramatically cut expenses and sell real estate. You can not cut your way to solvency. The university MUST raise funds. Fundraising and advancement are the most important thing a university can do. Every student brings only a small excess money but fundraising is dollar for dollar. IMHO, of course.

I appreciate this conversation with Scott and learning why he created Inside Higher Ed and what is on the horizon for higher education. Thank you for the short but rich interview.

As a parent, helping my kids shop for colleges, we are only looking into institutions that partner with corporations that will build a bridge to a career after they earn their degree. We aren't the only ones taking this approach. Also, why aren't colleges giving priority enrollment to local students to ease the demand on the campus housing to avoid creating a homeless student population? That is a way to keep college affordable (paying full price for tuition, maintaining operating costs for the college) if you have kids living at home while attending as a commuter student. That would allow colleges to retain more students while keeping budgets in tact. That is a win-win for the college and students.

Great session! That point on Transfer Admissions and the Supreme Court's ruling on Affirmative Admissions is concerning.

Thank you for all you do for us and the students!
