Why Higher Ed is Slow to Become Longer Ed

With the jury coming in on some of the first high-profile MOOC experiments – some successful, some not – the debate continues about whether MOOCs are good for society. This debate is often conflated with the debate about the cost of higher education. In fact, it’s difficult to have a conversation these days about higher ed without talking about cost. As I make my departure after seventeen years spent in higher ed, the last six as a college president, it’s clear to me that college costs will keep climbing higher and higher, for at least another decade. A child born in 2014 can expect a 4-year degree at a top private college to exceed half a million dollars.
