It is often asserted that taxpayer support for higher education is dwindling, endangering the nation’s economic future and forcing higher tuition prices. In reality that is far from the truth. Almost any way you slice it the taxpayer burden for America’s ivory tower has been on the rise, while the returns on investment have been at best indeterminate and at worst significantly negative. Please join us for this important discussion of why the federal role in higher education needs to be seriously reexamined.
