From the NYT:
According to the study, “Squeeze Play 2010: Continued Public Anxiety on Cost, Harsher Judgments on How Colleges are Run,” a growing share of Americans believes that college is essential to success — 55 percent, compared with 31 percent in 2000. But at the same time, a dwindling share — 28 percent, compared with 45 percent a decade earlier — thinks college is available to the vast majority of qualified, motivated students.
Americans believe colleges could accept more students and charge less tuition without compromising educational quality. They’re also increasingly dissatisfied with college leadership that claims it’s impossible.
The public is right. DIY U explains exactly how this can be done.
