As Newsweek recently reported, “In the past 25 years, while health-care costs have risen 250 percent, higher-education’s costs have skyrocketed 450 percent, according to the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education.” Blame this phenomenon on whatever you like — the failure of state support to keep up with student growth, for example (although this doesn’t explain private tuition inflation), or on complacent management — but at the end of the day, it won’t particularly matter. A reckoning awaits. Oddly, however, the Times never mentions the most likely disruptive agent of the higher-ed status quo: online learning.
