@bloombergbusiness: America’s college-age population is shrinking, putting pressure on universities with high fixed costs and fewer students to fill their campuses. Some schools are responding by adding career-focused programs and trying to stand out in a crowded market, while institutions that fail to adapt are facing cuts, closures and economic fallout for the towns that depend on them. #US #college #education
They’re destroying the university education in favor of narrow college programs that misleadingly have a direct path to employment at graduation. It’s a narrowed education which means more 2d thinkers, less exposure to diverse thought, and less lifetime flexibility and tendency toward innovation and the multi disciplinary thinking and experience that made US universities world class.

There's no way that high tier colleges will have lower supply of students, especially international ones.
It's the lower end that will suffer

Students are not willing to go into $250k in debt for a job that may not exist. Need jobs for graduates and affordable education.
