It goes without saying that a college education is an
investment, one whose short-term costs are exceeded by the long-term value, in
terms of employment opportunities, earning potential, and the quality of life
it transmits. It is also all too common, complain the speed with which
increases the cost of a college education, adopted by the student debt to pay
for it. Is it possible that we reach a day when students decide these costs are
just not worth it in the long run?
In the bubble of higher education, wrapped a long study like a thin book, Glenn Reynolds Harlan takes over the cost of a college degree, arguing that the higher education is basically all brands approaching a bubble his place where the explosion breaks costs are financed by debt, accepted depending on the speculative overvaluation of the assets in question, a college degree.
Historically, Reynolds locates the origins of this bubble in the Morrill Act and continues through the bill and Pell Grants GI, each of which expands the pool of potential students and at the same time the direct impact of tuition subsidies. New schools emerged and become, alongside the existing institutions to meet the demand, and in the early 1980s and 1990s, increased tuition fees amounting to more than other economic indicators. Student debt grew and grew as universities, as if this state is to act indefinitely, more personnel and wages, new and vast armies has added by administrators and launched projects' great strengths.
As estimated by Reynolds, the borrowing costs associated with poorer employment prospects before this generation of graduates, threatens the bubble pop. The time that students refuse to pay are, universities tighten revenue or decrease, and they will fail. And at the end of it all, higher education is an important structural change that to undergo in one of the one we know today, will leave the form.
It is an energetic shrill argument, one whose brevity and invite strong opinions against argument on a number of individual points. That is, it is hard to argue with his prediction that tuition fees skyrocketing costs of higher education can include in them, bubble shape, the destruction of higher education, as we know. In fact, we see some of the symptoms already.
Tuition is climbing causes more media coverage and outrage than ever, and demands that become accountability serious enough that the White House has plans, proposed the distribution of federal funding to limit schools that increases no control over their tuition fees , There are countless stories of schools to leave the university programs, cutting administrative positions and are increasingly turning to contractors, while controlling costs, even if it endangers the quality of the delivered product. And while it is too early to say what effect all this is there to think MOOCs enough money behind them, and enough leading institutions, including the platform, that they have a role to play.
So what comes after the bubble noises? Reynolds offers vague predictions: High schools will survive while others suffer, especially private schools with small foundations; it is to plan a life of higher education. However, none terribly specific, and offer proposals for reform, even if it does not intend. Instead, they will trigger an alarm and gives a brief and efficient manner. While it remains to be seen whether we the great implosion he should foresee Reynolds test make us stop and think that the present moment is something more serious than just another step in development of higher education.
