American Students are Smart

As reported in InsideHigherEd.Com for May 25, a recent National Student Clearinghouse Research Center’s study shows that total college enrollment declined 4.1 percent since last spring.

Why? Because American college age students are smart!

“The ongoing enrollment slide indicates that there’s more at play than the lingering impact of the pandemic.”

“It suggests that there is a broader questioning of the value of college and particularly concerns about student debt and paying for college and the potential labor market returns.”

An interview that I gave in August 2020 archived at YouTube anticipates this decline and explains what alternatives exist for students who are concerned about student debt and paying for a college diploma.
