\"\"<\/p>\n

The \u201cglobal warming\u201d scam has been running for 20 years now. Back when it started and people were buying into it, I tried to point out obvious issues, such as clear evidence the climate was warmer during Roman times\u2026and clearly the climate didn\u2019t change because the Romans weren\u2019t driving around in SUVs. It did little good, since everyone would point to \u201cpublished research\u201d or supposed consensus amongst scientists saying that we were all doomed, and would likely be dead before 2010, if not sooner.<\/p>\n

A curious thing happened since then: as scientists retired, they became far more outspoken against the claims of global warming\u2026with no longer being paid to believe in global warming, they didn\u2019t believe.<\/p>\n

The same thing happens in higher ed. It\u2019s obvious we need to ask some serious questions about what we\u2019re doing in higher education (and education in general)\u2026but the people running education don\u2019t seem to see anything wrong with our system at all.<\/p>\n

A current senator used to be a college president. Now that he\u2019s no longer reliant upon higher ed, he suddenly is asking the questions I\u2019ve asked more than a few times in this blog:<\/p>\n

17 Questions Every College Should Be Asking<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

He has an extensive preamble before getting to the important questions and I want to highlight a few of the things he has to say:<\/p>\n

Our oldest kid is a senior in high school, so like a lot of American households, our whole family is visiting campuses and comparing colleges.<\/em><\/p>\n

Keep in mind how far removed this guy is from the typical American. Anyone else out there both financially and leisurely capable of taking the whole family to visit multiple campuses? There really is a caste in our country which takes private jets to tour college campuses<\/a>. You\u2019re not in it. He is.<\/p>\n

\u2026it is decreasingly clear what purpose a four-year degree should serve when technology is changing the nature of work\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Yeah, no kidding. Thing is, a university degree was never intended for \u201cthe working class,\u201d but the student loan scam slammed pretty much everyone on to campus. So now the question that never needed to be asked is now being asked: \u201cof what use is this degree to the working class?\u201d<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want to sound elitist, but not everyone is going to get white collar jobs, even if everyone is now going to get a mountain of debt which supposedly will be paid for by such jobs. Maybe we shouldn\u2019t put everyone into higher ed? Then we wouldn\u2019t be asking what job a degree is for\u2026<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s graduate will typically change not just jobs but industries three times in his or her first decade post-college.<\/em><\/p>\n

See, this is something that education might be helpful for, since a big part of education is learning how to learn. That\u2019s something you\u2019ll want to have if you\u2019re going to be changing jobs regularly. Today\u2019s reality that you\u2019re not going to keep a job with a regular paycheck is true enough, but it\u2019s also today\u2019s reality that loan payments need to paid regularly\u2026the system is still broken as long as student loans exist.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s get started on the senator\u2019s questions, and see how often \u201cstudent loans are the problem\u201d is part of the answer.<\/p>\n

Tuition consistently rises faster than inflation\u2014why? Does tuition increase because costs are up, or are costs up because universities can increase prices?<\/p>\n

Well, that was quick. It\u2019s well known that student loans are the key reason tuition rises<\/a>. The loans are \u201cfor tuition,\u201d not for a set price, so\u2026why doesn\u2019t the Poo-Bah already know the problem here?<\/em><\/p>\n

Off to the next:<\/p>\n

Could we possibly slow our cost growth? Should we plot a scenario with five years of flat tuition?<\/p>\n

While theoretically the answers to the above are \u201cyes\u201d and \u201cyes,\u201d the reality is student loans make such activity pointless. Why slow cost growth or plan for flat tuition when no matter what the expenses or tuition, the students are right there ready to make up the difference.<\/p>\n

Even with fewer students pouring on to campus, that just means you raise tuition all the more.<\/p>\n

Is the student-debt crisis as bad as journalists claim? Will there be new pathways for students with limited financial resources?<\/em><\/p>\n

As bad as journalists claim? Wait, what? This isn\u2019t the journalists\u2019 fault, senator. Total student loan debt runs around $1.6 trillion dollars, the average graduation starts live $30,000 in debt. The later might not sound like much money for someone who has the time and money to take the whole family on junkets to visit various universities but, yes, it\u2019s very bad for normal people.<\/p>\n

\u2026critics argue that most schools are content to compete with \u201cidentical mediocrity but better gyms.\u201d For what, with whom, and on what dimensions should our institution compete?<\/em><\/p>\n

The answer here is a bit more subtle. The reasons schools are competing with \u201cgyms\u201d is two-fold. First, accreditation (the set of rules which allows a school to rake in student loan money) doesn\u2019t care in the least about education\u2026all a school needs to do is meet the minimum accrediting requirements there.<\/p>\n

Second? The school needs to attract students, and the \u201cgyms\u201d are being used as shorthand here for student amenities, which include climbing walls, lazy rivers, and, yes, gyms.<\/p>\n

Because all schools equally qualify for student loans, there\u2019s no particular advantage to being anything but mediocre, if that much.<\/p>\n

What is quality, and how should it be measured? Are our programs rigorous enough? Are our students learning enough? Should we care about (and seek to measure somehow) their development outside the classroom?<\/em><\/p>\n

These are some hard questions but the student loan scam makes them all irrelevant, so let\u2019s answer the last question first: the student loans mean schools have no skin in the game once students step off campus, so schools don\u2019t care. Students generate the same revenue regardless of learning, so nobody cares about student learning. Student loans don\u2019t care about rigor, so nobody cares if the programs are rigorous enough.<\/p>\n

Let me put this in an allegory. Suppose you sold candy bars, and you were guaranteed to sell 10,000 candy bars a year, at $500 each\u2026even if all you did was put a lump of chocolate in a wrapper\u2026a half of a lump would sell for just as much, just as often, for that matter. Why bother with the expense and effort of making anything better than that? That\u2019s the issue with student loans\/tuition right now, the baseline profit is so high, the baseline of effort accreditation requires so low, that there\u2019s no motivation to improve higher education right now.<\/p>\n

What is quality and how should it be measured? This also doesn\u2019t matter. The only thing that\u2019s ever been measured closely in my 30 years of higher ed was how many students I was keeping in class\u2026because that\u2019s reflected in the student loan money.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the first five sets of questions the former Poo-Bah asks here\u2026next time around I\u2019ll address the rest.<\/p>\n
